ice (I've ordered a book (:(!). How concretely produce these sculptures using the 3D positioning of the tip of the petals according to fibonacci spiral with Rhino and tsplines (Grasshopper?) seems to have realized that the illusion of movement or of the petals is...or an "animated video in a render program" or "from a set strobe "(a rotating wheel where to place the sculpture illuminated" but I'm not sure
I'm interested in the second hipotesis ...in produce a solid / physical sculpture, and then I think an apparatus (stroboscopic)will undertake to give the illusion of movement of the petals. But this only happens if you are positioned exactly the petals in 3 D modelling ...(?). I'm would afraid to realize that maybe I do not need Grasshopper?!?!I don't understand ( without Google Translator(:! )
Only Rhino and TSplines?

r but doesn't make sense in other cases (see the demo stuff provided). NOTE: If the offset is off ... the thing that makes all the work is "auto" deactivated as well (to prevent chaos).
2. All the options available are in a red group (including the offset at the left-most part of the definition). To summarize: options are (a) offset or not [MEANING: flush or not], (b) choice of the test object,, (c) show the tmp solids used [flush], (d) follow the offset route [flush] or work as in V1 (that is 100 times faster).
3. Appears that I can't do anything with regard the SLOW issue: is the way that Rhino does business (Split is out of question as explained above - but is not a hare either).
Load Rhino file first.

1 and A1 that define the first eye point, P1.
Then a row width and a constant value for C that define the next eye point.
Angle 2 will then give Height 2, Height 2 gives Angle 3 etc...
You can easily do this as a series of functions that follow on from each other,
but there could be a very large number of these, and also a variable number, not a great way to do it.
What I really want is three series that output numbers to define values for Distance, Height and Angle.
D can be defined as a series, but H and A need to be calculated sequentially.
A2 gives H2, then H2 gives A3 etc... One series needs to the input of the other and vice versa. Doesn't work with Logic/sets/series as you end up with circular inputs.
Any ideas on best way to set this up greatly appreciated.
Thanks.…
.
Now I need three things
1. Give these curves a certain thickness (x-z-axis)
2. Give them a height , which is gonna decrease linear (y-axis, starting high on the one sideof the square and finishing low on the other)
3. A command prompting the voronoi to omit certain points when the curves generated are getting too short
I‘d be really greatfull for any help..

behave like this:{a1;b2;c3;d1;e2;f3;g1;h2}
The ping pong matching would behave like this:
{a1;b2;c3;d2;e1;f2;g3;h2}
with a boolean option it could repeat the first and last like this:
{a1;b2;c3;d3;e2;f1;g1;h2}
If this already exist please let me know
Thanks
bye…

icular Display to get a black/white analysis of it. The thing is that I don't know how to make that mesh (because on the D output it says that it's a mesh) and image, so then I can connect it to the image sampler (still don't know how), and then get the heights, from that the surface and from that, the isocurves.
I know how to do everything but this step I'm having problems with. I've tried with the Kinnect, Millipede, and Lunchbox plug-ins, but I'm only 3 weeks in the grasshopper world and it's driving me crazy.
A million thanks for the help!…
floors, a curtain wall enclosure and external balconies. (see attached Rhino and Grasshopper files).
Everything seems well until I try importing this into Revit. I get a message informing me that it is "unable to detect generic floor type". After closing this message, I am left with only the internal floors, and some of them have been imported multiple times.
Am I doing some newbie mistake? Should I have a separate workflow for each building element?
I´d appreciate all advise.…
s from Rhino and the tree makes it 0 – A area, 1 – B area, etc. But I need A+B+C+D…=GENERAL AREA i.e. I need to calculate within the tree indexes 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., one after another to get sum of surfaces with one number. Here is the definition…I would appreciate a lot your help!

picture:
... and on a PC without anything attached to the serial port. When you open the port, start the read component and its timer, do you then get a stream of <empty> values in the log output? (hmmm... I suppose that's only reasonable - but still, you are also seeing this?)
I suppose that, because of the mutually exclusive behavior of both the spider and grasshopper (i.e. only one at a time can access the COM port), we can deduce that we are listening on the correct port.
Am I listening on the correct pin (if such a notion makes sense at all)? If I look back to the spider software, I see that 9 channels are listed and that it's only the measured value on channel 0 that changes when I press the load cell. Channels 1, 2, and 3 report OVERFLOW; 4, 5, 6, and 7 are pretty much constant at 0.000 to 0.005 V; and channel 8 says FFFF. I do not know how things like that work so I do not know if they reflect reading from the 9 pins on the D-sub 9 connector.
As for your BTW question: no, I don't need to record all of the sensor values. I suppose that the Out value on the Read component will always reflect the most current value and that's all that I need to get on with life. In the end, the idea is that we have 4 load cells in the 4 corners of a plate onto which a vertical pipe is fixed. Loads are then put on the top end of the pipe and we'll have to visualize both direction and magnitude of the bending moment that is calculated from the compression - tension readings from the load cells... We've done this on a scaled model and streamed load cell information into MatLab. Now we'll have to use a different datalogger and I was hoping to be able to do the post processing in Rhino.

ort and export from the images below and also from the HELP file of DB in attachments (Page 71: Importing Geometric Data; Page 78-80: Import 3 - D CAD Data). In their HELP file, they mention about "import geometric data".
However, regarding the input of schedules, loads, constructions and etc., DB normally uses "Component " and "Template" (Page 29: Templates And Components; Page 591: Templates; Page 533: Components). "Templates" are databases of typical generic data, including Activity templates, Construction templates, Glazing templates, Facade templates, HVAC templates, Location Templates, and etc. "Component " are databases of individual data items (e.g. a construction type, material, window pane).
Both "Component " and "Template" are allowed to be imported and exported by using "Import / Export library data" command (.ddf format - DB Database File; Page 734: Import Components/Templates, Export Components/Templates). DB also allows us to build up our own libraries of templates and components (Page 731: Library Management; Page 733: Template Library Management).
In order to import both geometric information and other information related to schedules, loads, constructions and etc. from GH to BD, we supposed the following two ways:
1. GH(HB+GB) --> gbXML (both geometric and "Component " and "Template" information) --> DB
This is the way we most prefer. We did see information related to schedules, loads, constructions encoded in the gbXML file generated by GB, but still do not know the reason why DB did not take this information (I also mentioned this in Q6 within the gh file). We assume this might because the gbXML file we create encodes the schedules based on a different template / schema than the one DB expects. We also post this question to the DB forum for help.
(http://www.designbuilder.co.uk/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,25/page,viewtopic/p,13755/#13755)
2. GH(HB+GB) --> gbXML (geometric information only) + .ddf ("Component " and "Template" information only) --> DB
If the first way doesn't work and DB only takes geometric information from the gbXML, then we might think of the other way - generating the .ddf files from GH(HB+GB) to pass the schedule, load and construction information to DB.
I was wondering if it is feasible for HB and GB to have this function? And what is your suggestion to achieve this?
In addition, we notice that DB can export XML files (not gbXML), so we are trying to figure out if DB also accepts / reads the XML file. If so, we might be able to convert the gbXML (with both geometric and schedule information) to XML. What do you think about that?
Thank you again for all your help!
Best,
Ding
