y I have 25 surfaces, and so 25 directions. Everything fine.
But I wanted to have 12 go in one direction and 13 go in the other direction.
What I did was to create both negative and positive directions, having 50 directions for 25 surfaces. So I then proceeded to weave these directions, and split the list in 2.
To the left is what I achieved in grasshopper, to the right is the desired result.
As you can see the first story of prisms is extruded in the wrong direction.
Thanks for any insight.…
the zone ? (You know it is not an exterior shading device with thermal break. It is a continuous wall with significant heat transmittance)
The only way I could imagine to define the thick wall, is to divide it into two parts (interior and exterior), and then define each part as a zone! So 2 new zones would represent the wall. But these zones won't have any cavity or air inside; because the wall is solid. then the question would be:
What is the minimum size of a zone? Could a zone be as thick as a wall (e.g. 50 cm width)?
What is the maximum thickness of a wall/floor/ceiling/etc. in a zone? Could they occupy the whole space of the zone? i.e. Could a wall have a width equivalent to half of the whole zone's width?
Thank you

er the facade panels of the residential building showing how private or not private is the overall shape. All the views will come from the office tower to the residential tower
My inputs on the view analysis component are 10 points for each of the office floors/facade perimeter (50 floors) for a total of 500 points. An aproximate panelization of the residential building facade (2220 panels) to perform the analysis on. And the center points of each residential building facade panel
The problem that I am having right know is that when I start the calculation the computer stops responding, but I dont know what I am doing wrong. Also I dont know the criteria in how to set a proper "_gridSize_" and _disFromBase for the scale of my analysis and my rhino units which are in milimeters in correspondence with the logic of how the view analysis component was made.
Attached is the grasshopper file, with data internalised.
Thank you in advance!!

ch item to go into:
So how do I turn both of those into something like:
{0} N=72
{1} N=50
.
.
etc. (numbers are just examples)
Thanks for your help, I have been trying most of the Tree components, including obscure ones, but just cant seem to figure it out.
ps: just noticed a bug, that you can internalise a list of groups, but you cant copy it over into a new file - the groups just end up being empty - hence the modified attached file. Also noticed that the group parameter component doesn't even let you internalise. Why? I'll post in Bugs..…

on Grasshopper, I'd probably research how people use the tools. For example; take a well known architectural shape and make algorithms that duplicate this shape in a number of languages (written English, drawn images, RhinoScript, MEL, AutoLISP, Grasshopper etc. etc.), then compare these different implementations. Which approach allows you to achieve the goal with least steps? Which representation can be most easily explained to others? Which can be most easily changed? and so on and so forth.
Voronoi diagrams are pretty mundane these days. Not that long ago only the best and brightest could use them for architectural purposes, but now everyone who is smart enough to install a plugin can.
One of the truly useful features of Grasshopper (and -of course- programming in general) over traditional approaches is that it can handle vast amounts of data. Given a couple of hours I can create a Voronoi diagram for 500 points by hand, but I would be hard pressed to manually evaluate the year-average of sun light contribution on every vertex of a 10000 point mesh.
If you're looking to do something reasonably innovative (and I think 10~11 weeks is plenty of time for that), I have yet to see someone do 3D isovist data maps of architectural models. I think Grasshopper can be used to at least aid in researching isovist properties of platonic, organic and custom volumes.
Or... a lot of people worry about shadow-casting properties of building envelopes, but nobody seems to be interested in solar reflection via windows and other reflective surfaces.
Or... given the average dioptre of the human eye, what can we say about the level of detail that is perceivable on every square unit of the facade of a 50 story building?
Or... how are grooves in a floor, wall or facade surface perceived as one walks past them? Or take it even further and research the rate of change of visual properties of a bas-relief surface.

ve systems in architectural design that respond to changing environmental and spatial needs.
In its second year the workshop will delve more into the concepts of self-organization, emergence and systems behaviour in architecture, borrowing concepts and tools from biology. Associative modelling, simulation, material experiments and digital fabrication tools will be introduced in order to apply this information to the design of both passive and active responsive architectural systems.
The digital toolset for the studios will be Rhino, Grasshopper, VB.net, Firefly and Arduino. Model making, engagement with different materials and utilisation of digital fabrication will be integral to the core of the course throughout the workshop.
The workshop will provide students with the opportunity to engage in parallel with both the theoretical aspects of biomimetics and integrated design processes, as well as the technical tools essential for the realisation of design outcomes. It will explore adaptive and responsive systems in architecture, capable of interacting with their context, both environmental and social in a context specific brief.
The work generated throughout the workshop, as well as the final prototypes constructed will contribute to a publication and travelling exhibition as the culmination of the three-year programme.
The deadline for applications is 20 June 2011. A late deadline of 4 July 2011 is also in effect, but this will incur a £50 surcharge. Application forms and additional information are available online at: www.aaschool.ac.uk/sanfrancisco and applications can be submitted to: visitingschool@aaschool.ac.uk. …
tion plays a role, so number 1 and 7 are maybe the same in math sense but not by my definition.
but what im aiming for is plotting out all possible combination of lets say n=50 cubes. so i need some kind of logic to generate these combinations. filtering ( and predefing start combinations-like dedackelzuchts link ) out these combinations according to some criteria would be the next thing.
i have no scripting abilities therefore my question was if this could be done also by gh components.
i thought about something like this:
add cube
extrude one face (x,y or z) -> one possible geometry (if orientation doesnt play a role)
check the two cubes
extrude one face (faces that are at same position are not valid) - > two possible combinations
check the 3 cubes
...
and so on
the thig is that the combinations branches and i have no clue how to do this with grasshopper.
thanxs a bunch
