In the mean time (auto detection of struts < min Allowed == true) get the gist of the whole "torque" issue, the other gist not to mention the other-other gist.
Of course you can opt for NOT making the cables (green) that stabilize the "extension" part of a given tensegrity strut ... yielding the Mother in Law syndrome (fat and ugly):
But ... hmm ... well ... are you really the chosen one? Here's your chance for the ticket to Paradise (full Lord's assistance, that is). Identify this engine, name the designer and the related immortal racer (when men were men).

een them. I made so drawing to explain the shape I wannt to givve to my object.
I don't really nead 3D because my object will be print in a laser cut. So I just nead the drawing of the pieces.
I give you the GH and the rhino. For the moment someone help me to build one clip. But there are bugs on it when I change parameters.

and the degree of your periodic curve is 3, then start picking one point to the left. If the degree is 5, start pickin 2 points to the left, etc.
Every curve has a domain. A domain is a numeric range defined by two numbers (a lower and an upper bound). Within the domain, the curve exists and the equations which govern the geometry of the curve yield decent answers. The lower limit represents the start of the curve, the upper limit the end of the curve. Everywhere in between you can evaluate curve properties (position, tangency, curvature and any other derivatives, tension, torsion etc. etc.).
There is no significance attached to the actual numbers in a domain. All that is required is that the lower limit is smaller than the upper limit. When we create curves in Rhino we tend to pick domains that represent the length of a curve, but if you scale a curve afterwards you change the length, but not the domain.
Curve parameters are numbers inside this domain. Basically, think of all curves as finite line segments which can be bend, kinked and stretched in 3D space. Curve parameters are locations on the 1-dimensional space that is defined by the line. The curve equations are all about converting those one-dimensional parameters into three-dimensional points and vectors.
Like I said, the mathematics are pretty involved and periodic curves are more difficult still.

p; 3D Urban ModelingOn the topography subject I get the next message: "One or more boundaries may be outside the bounds of the topo dataset" I'm not sure if it's the .IMG file I'm loading since I found so many IMG files nearing my polyline area (Miami Lat:26 Lon:-81 aprox.) or maybe my polygon doesn't match the topo area? I have no idea why it isn't working :(On the Shapefile subject, haven't been able to find a Building Height SHP File, so far have downloaded around 8 SHP files which only contain Polylines, my solution is to meanwhile randomize Z heights, but of course this data is not "technically" correct.P.S.: I've already tried all example links and also the ones posted by you and Benjamin in this video.Been strugling last few days, hope you can help me, thanks in advance!!…
raphics card (NVIDIA Quatro K4000) that Freeform recommended but that didn't seem to help as much as the memory, especially since it's much cheaper now than ever before so I got the fastest memory I could find too, with heat sinks on it. I only have four cores (i7 @ 2.66GHz not overclocked) but software usually can't use them all anyway except in rendering. I don't even have SSD disks yet, since Windows 7 is so stable I haven't had to reinstall Windows for years which is what it would take to make me go through upgrading my disks. My single monitor is large but not high definition (La Cie 324i at 1920x1200). I have also tweaked Windows 7 to rid it of any fancy interface features, so my system looks rather old school.
Also, I'm an organic synthetic chemist by training, so my patience level is very high with continuous parameter tweaking in Grasshopper and constantly force quitting Rhino by right clicking it in the Taskbar to use "Close window" instead of the inconvenient Task Manager. I rely on the Grasshopper preference settings that turns on recovery file creation, and that system works nearly always, letting you re-open unsaved work with the Solver deactivated as an option so you can change the parameters back to mellow. So when I make things look easy, that's because compared to chemistry, merely quitting a program all day in order to change a parameter in Grasshopper, is something I hardly even notice having to do so often. It certainly bothered me early on, a lot, before I understood that Grasshopper 2 was coming one day, and that the existing program just wasn't designed to handle what it's being now taxed with.…

brep.
I am obviusly doing this in grasshopper (using a image to map the lines with the imagesampler) but this question goes beyond the software. it is more about geometry, I guess.
it involves to unwrape a geometry, but having always continuity from one to an other.
here a image of the concept
You have to keep in mind that the brep (in this case a circular shape) its longer than the shape of the plane. so it is difficult to place them flat in photoshop to paint and create the continuity.
here the images that I am using to map the lines on the geometries. I am using a definition that creates lines from a image black&white like this one
but in order to achive the continuity from the ground to the facade of the building I am thinking that the only posibility would be to use a software where I can paint a gemetry in 3D. LIKE ZBRUSH
but how do I get the map back out and flat to use is correctly in grasshopper?
anyone as any ideas?
Please!!!
THANKS!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

3d voronoi from which i extract a cell for each point. After this i need to compute the intersection between each cell and the surface.
I tried two approaches: one with "Brep|Brep intersection" and then "Curve splitting", and another with "Split Brep".
The first solution works (below) perfectly but the "Curve splitting" phase can be bloody slow! Sometimes it requires more than 1.5 minutes
The "Split Brep" solution (below) is much faster, but for each cell it returns me TWO surface: the one inside the Voronoi cell and the one outside. These are inside a three with a branch for each curring surface. The problem is than inside the branches, sometimes the first element is the inner surface, sometimes it's the outer.
Is there a way to use "Split Brep" and throw away the outer surfaces?
Do you suggest any other method?
Thank you very much, and sorry for my terminology: i've been using GH for 2 days :/…

...where Vicente Soler suggests a simple method which calls a command from Rhino into GH. I discovered, talking with Vicente that now the language to use is RhinoCommons but I didn't still reached a solution, being a dummie for scripting.
Does anybody can help me with this problem?
Here's the code that I'm trying to implement (it is written in RhinoScript actually):
Private Sub RunScript(ByVal x As Object, ByVal y As Object, ByVal z As Object, ByVal idObject As Object, ByRef A As Object) Dim sIfcType, strObject Dim strIfcColumn, strIfcBeam sIfcType = Rhino.GetUserText(idObject, "TypeObjetIFC") If ((sIfcType = "IfcBeam") Or (sIfcType = "IfcColumn")) Then 'MsgBox "median = " & y & ", min = " & x& ", max =" & z Rhino.SetUserText(idObject, "Longueur", z) Rhino.SetUserText(idObject, "Largeur", x) Rhino.SetUserText(idObject, "Hauteur", y) End If End Sub
I just would like to add extra-information to a selected list of 3D geometries by managing the UserText data.
Thanking you in advance for your attention I'll wait for an your answer about this theme.
Sincerely,
Matteo…
