and fine-grained control over the Excel 2017 COM objects, to be used with Bumblebee. :) I was unable to get Bumblebee working with the latest Excel, and I wanted to add more fine-grained control over file creation, application processes (killing background processes primarily), etc. Now that it's mostly working, I'm really enjoying all of the flexibility you've built in to Bumblebee. It's working great.
Anyway, I'll share that when it's ready, still more testing to do...
Cheers,
Marc

I set one curve in Rhino, Extrude it 82000mm and that's it. It takes between 4 and 5 seconds but doesn't even register on the profiler. A more advanced definition that registers a maximum of 53ms takes about 5 minutes.
I attached the GH file but I don't think there is any need to look at it as it is just two components.
It only seems to be in a particular Rhino file but I cannot share it for professional reasons. I also should mention that I work primarily on networked drives and when I open a new file and set one curve it takes exactly as long as it should, which is no time at all.
Any ideas?…

ers and researchers, programmers and artists, professionals and academics who come together for 4 days of intense collaboration, development, and design.
The sg2012 Workshop will be organised around Clusters. Clusters are hubs of expertise. They comprise of people, knowledge, tools, materials and machines. The Clusters provide a focus for workshop participants working together within a common framework.
Clusters provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, processes and techniques and act as a catalyst for design resolution. The Workshop is made up of ten Clusters that respond in diverse ways to the sg2012 Challenge Material Intensities.
Applicants to the sg2012 Workshop will select their preferred cluster from the following:
Beyond Mechanics
Micro Synergetics
Composite Territories
Ceramics 2.0
Material Conflicts
Transgranular Perspiration
Reactive Acoustic Environments
Form Follows Flow
Bioresponsive Building Envelopes
Gridshell Digital Tectonics
More information about the Workshop and Clusters can be found here:
http://smartgeometry.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=116&Itemid=131
The application process will close on January 15th, 2012.
Full Fee $1500
Reduced Fee $750
Scholarship Fee $350
Fees include attendance to both the workshop and conference from March 19th-24th.
Reduced Fee and Scholarships are available only for Academics, Students and Young Practitioners, and are awarded during a competitive peer review process.
sg2012 takes place from 19-24 March 2012 at EMPAC (http://empac.rpi.edu/) and is hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, upstate New York USA. The Workshop and Conference will be a gathering of the global community of innovators and pioneers in the fields of architecture, design and engineering.
The event will be in two parts: a four day Workshop 19-22 March, and a public conference beginning with Talkshop 23 March, followed by a Symposium 24 March. The event follows the format of the highly successful preceding events sg2010 Barcelona and sg2011 Copenhagen.
sg2012 Challenge Material Intensities
Simulation, Energy, Environment
Imagine the design space of architecture was no longer at the scale of rooms, walls and atria, but that of cells, grains and vapour droplets. Rather than the flow of people, services, or construction schedules, the focus becomes the flow of light, vapour, molecular vibrations and growth schedules: design from the inside out.
The sg2012 challenge, Material Intensities, is intended to dissolve our notion of the built environment as inert constructions enclosing physically sealed spaces. Spaces and boundaries are abundant with vibration, fluctuating intensities, shifting gradients and flows. The materials that define them are in a continual state of becoming: a dance of energy and information. Material potential is defined by multiple properties: acoustical, chemical, electrical, environmental, magnetic, manufacturing, mechanical, optical, radiological, sensorial, and thermal. The challenge for sg2012 Material Intensities is to consider material economy when creating environments, micro-climates and contexts congenial for social interaction, activities and organisation. This challenge calls for design innovation and dialogue between disciplines and responsibilities. sg2010 Working Prototypes strove to emancipate digital design from the hard drive by moving from the virtual to the actual in wrestling with the tangible world of physical fabrication. sg2011 Building the Invisible focused on informing digital design with real world data. sg2012 Material Intensities strives to energise our digital prototypes and infuse them with material behaviour. They have the potential to become rich simulations informed by the material dynamics, chemical composition, energy flows, force fields and environmental conditions that feed back into the design process.

installing or running.Here is the direct link to download the PanelingTools installer. Simply double click the downloaded file and follow the prompts to install:https://www.rhino3d.com/download/panelingtools/1/wip/rcImportant Note:You will need the latest Rhino 6 Beta to run the new PanelingTools. Download from here:https://www.rhino3d.com/download/rhino-for-windows/betaIf you own Rhino 5.0 License, then you can access Rhino 6 Beta now. Grasshopper installs and runs as part of Rhino 6 Beta.You can download older versions of PanelingTools and access documentation from one of the following:- PanelingTools Wiki: https://wiki.mcneel.com/labs/panelingtools- PanelingTools at Food4Rhino: http://www.food4rhino.com/app/panelingtools-rhinoA great place to post questions and suggestions is the McNeel Discourse Forum:https://discourse.mcneel.com/For those of you using PanelingTools in Rhino Mac, you can continue to access PT thought the commandline (type pt, and the commands will auto-complete). You can also access PT Grasshopper components by following the instructions here:http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/panelingtools/forum/topics/pt-gh-for-the-rhinowip-for-the-macRelease Notes November 14, 2017:-------------------- PanelingTools is now compiled against the public Rhino 6 SDK. This will help with quick updates and improvements independent of the Rhino release cycle.- Paneling data is compatible between Rhino 6 Beta and earlier Rhino versions.- ptGridExtrude1 allows defining a rotation base point when you set a rotation axis (from point becomes the base).- Fixed the paneling output of partial patterns when the grid does not extend far enough to accommodate a full unit pattern.- ptWeaveGrids has now an option to weave by columns. It used to support weaving by row only.- Writing a reading managed patterns has been re-written.- Fixed a number of various bugs.Enjoy!Rajaa IssaRobert McNeel & Associates…
work. As payload it uses protocol buffers which is optimised for transport and storage, and is Google's lingua franca for data. It would be great to use it for extensibility in grasshopper.
As gRPC supports both C# and Python I didn't think it would take many lines of code, but I have so far failed to put it together. Could anyone please describe to me best practice is in such case, and/or want to collaborate on the project? I can picture an open repo on gitHub or similar.
My main qustions are:
Should I use C# or Python?
Can I use Visual Studio 2017? All the VS 2015 installers have failed on my computer.
Do I have to use Visual Studio, or can I get away with the built-in editor? What are the main limitations using one over the other?
Can I build Rhino5 GH components in VS2017? I have built a Rhino 6 GH component from the McNeel template, but it did not work when opened in Rhino 5 GH (currently only R6 templates are available for VS2017).
Can Rhino 5's old ironPython deal with the newer gRPC package?
What's the best way to do rapid iterations and version controll building GH comps?
TL;DR: I want to build a very simple gRPC.io client GH component, and appreciate all help I can get.
Many thanks, Martin…
