e. We know you want to concentrate on your design, rethink the spaces, the material and more other beautiful and important topics. You will learn the power of parametric design in examples, challenges and develop your own systems to optimize your work, make changes, variations and convert your design into a full BIM model in real time : )
Who should take the course?
Everybody who is new, beginner or excited about Algorithmic design and the Rhino Inside Revit game changer development. The skill level of the workshop is BEGINNER.
The Workshop finish with a Discussion + Virtual Beers with PAZ Academy ;D !

e a "game changer" regarding lighting simulations and analysis. To harness the power of Grasshopper, the flexibility of Rhino in a lighting specific application is, I believe, already the future.
Because of the above I am a big proponent of Honeybee for the professional environment, but I feel that there are still a few shortcomings... from what I have tried.
1. It should be "photometrically" more comprehensive, not just for illuminance, luminance and energy (W.h). Other quantities are of great importance, namely intensity and flux.
2. Producing documentation is a big advantage (if not the main advantage) of dedicated packages such as Dialux or AGI32, it would be nice to see it as a strong feature in Honeybee as well.
3. Support for Eulumdat would be a nice feature.
4. There is a performance issue with multiple sources as you mentioned. I have tried a "simple" analysis with 120 sources and it takes, indeed, a substantial amount of time to produce the result. Don't know where the bottleneck is, perhaps not Honeybee's to blame, but it is a hindrance in using the software for complex simulations.
5. Material/surface design would benefit from more options.
Finally, do you have a roadmap of sorts and what can the users expect from Honeybee electic lighting in 2017?
Have a great year!! All the best.

est of the year so I'm trying to understand new things...
I downloaded Boids by Jan Pernecky and tried to do something like the flocking 2d pattern of this amazing video video (2:41) but i'm not very happy with it. You can see the first result on this image.Image of the code
For now, I have 3 groups of 3 circles with 12 points on each: blue circles (points) are used for the "Adhere" flock location and the red ones for the "Repulse" flock location.
After, I cut the whole thing with the wire-frame of the bounding box of the emitter of the points and their mirror according to the center axis of the central circle. (red rectangle on image).
First, how can i contain the curves into a region ?(without the bounce component because it's very slow...)
I think to have a result like the one in the video, i need many other forces ? I didn't understand the "finesse" of the flocking concept...
Is there a way to trim vectors but not just by speed but by angle or to replace them ?
I tried to put more forces like the "align" but results are bad for now: curves are too flat or not aligned at all.
The * parameter is also hard to manipulate (for nuts like me hehe): for example, my repulse forces are kind of not existing or too strong... ?
How can i use the stick geometry component with other behaviours on the same time ?
It will be very nice if someone can give some advises or share some codes to help me... first time I use agents in grasshopper...
Thanks in advance.
Peace.
Sorry for my frenchy English.

n make it possible to Motivation generate
a variety of interesting objects, from abstract fractals to plant-like
branching structures, their modeling power is quite limited. A major
problem can be traced to the reduction of all lines to integer multiples
of the unit segment. As a result, even such a simple figure as an
isosceles right-angled triangle cannot be traced exactly, since the ratio
of its hypotenuse length to the length of a side is expressed by the irrational
number √2. Rational approximation of line length provides only
a limited solution, because the unit step must be the smallest common

√2
denominator of all line lengths in the modeled structure. Consequently,
the representation of a simple plant module, such as an internode, may
require a large number of symbols. The same argument applies to angles.
Problems become even more pronounced while simulating changes
to the modeled structure over time, since some growth functions cannot
be expressed conveniently using L-systems. Generally, it is difficult

to capture continuous phenomena, since the obvious technique of discretizing
continuous values may require a large number of quantization
levels, yielding L-systems with hundreds of symbols and productions.
Consequently, model specification becomes difficult, and the mathematical
beauty of L-systems is lost.
In order to solve similar problems, Lindenmayer proposed that numerical
parameters be associated with L-system symbols [83]. He illustrated
this idea by referring to the continuous development of branching
structures and diffusion of chemical compounds in a nonbranching filament
of Anabaena catenula.
The following is an example of its application:
starting string: A
p1: A F(1)[+A][-A]
P2: F(s) F(s*R)
which I think is basically trying to say
F(s) = move forwar a step of length s > 0.

Our pavilion presents itself as a kind of beach screen for Volga riverbank. An aesthetic of the object, which consist of yellow “stars”, is simultaneously due to the features of the tensegrity construction and to the representation of Samara as a city of space industry.
The pavilion is formed by 128 crosses made of 9 mm plywood. Each cross has its individual form. They are connected only by stretched vertical steel cables. We wanted to make manually assembled object, which was elaborated using parametric design techniques. All plywood elements were prefabricated with CNC machine, including a mounting frame for cables assembling. This allowed us to assemble a compound parametric tensegrity construction with high accuracy and just as it was designed.…
s. Python is built for flexibility and clear syntax This is the ideal course for designers and engineers who want to lay the foundation for Rhino.Python™ scripting, as well as for RhinoScript users who want to stay up to date.
This workshop will convey necessary ideas and tools to successfully code geometry in Rhinoceros 5 on Windows and Mac. This course is delivered by Giulio Piacentino of McNeel. As a participant, you will be guided through the details of this new and friendly programming language in Rhino, including: automating commands at necessity with macros, performing calculations, making decisions after iterating code and manipulating several data structures. We will also study how to couple Python’s iteration and recursion powers to extend Grasshopper.
