hink you need recursion to modify the random seed; many other ways to accomplish that (use the length of each curve as the seed, for example).
Using multiples of twelve makes it harder for me to grasp the essence of the matter; another way of looking at it is that you want to generate random integers from 2 to 5 (24,36, 48 and 60) and have them add up exactly to curve lengths of 5 (x12=60), 9 (x12=108) or 14 (x12=168).
So you want to generate random numbers until their sum ('Mass Addition') plus 5 is equal to or greater than the curve length (5, 9 or 14). The last number in the series is then not random but just the difference between the two.
For example, for curve length = 5 (x12=60), there are only three possible numbers that can be used as the first in the sequence: 2, 3 or 5. If it's 5, you're done. If it's 2, the second number is 3 (5-2), if it's 3, the second number is 2 (5 - 3). You can't use '4' at all because the remainder, 1 (x12=12) isn't one of your solution options.
There is no point in generating the last number randomly, eh?
P.S. You didn't use 'Internalize data' for the 'Curve (Crv)' param in your GH file.…

circles that can be populated (for each radius size) is set as an integer (or slider)
(ie. radius 1.5 = 10 , radius 3= 6, radius 6 = 6, radius 9=4)
Conditions are:
1) Each of the circle has a radius of influence,
Radius of influence = double the radius of the circle)
(3, 6, 12, 18)
2) Any overlapping circles in either: Radius of influence or the Circles are removed so that
No circles overlap.
3) There must also be 4 circles set at the corner points of the grid - These must be circles with a radius of 3 or 6
If you can do that I will be amazed as i've been trying for weeks! :(
Ive attached a sketch of what im looking for…
onent are experiential or location specific. For example: humidex has been derived and widely used in Canada.Also both humidex and discomfort index should be used in in-shade conditions.For universal applications and locations, you should concentrate on either PET or UTCI (this is what "Outdoor Comfort Calculator" component is based on).
I have found out, that for instance - OutdoorComfortCalculator - which considers temperatures of 9-26 and other factors, gives the % of comfortable time outdoor for instance in Kenya in Africa (high temperatures and humidity) 55%, whereas within the same .epw data and some additional factors added to the Thermal Indices component, the "humidex" or "Discomfort index" give a result drastically lower, I think it was even 1-5% comfortable.How is that?
Yes, this is one of the issues that I have with UTCI index: the authors wanted to make it as an index applicable in any type of climate. To create the UTCI comfort categories a number of data has been collected from different locations (for hot humid climate, it was the data from Madagascar. I may be wrong on this). This resulted in universal comfortable range of 9 to 26 C which you mentioned. How would the people in Madagascar perceive the feel like temperature of 9 degrees as comfortable is beyond my understanding.Thermophysiology of a human in Madagascar, and in Poland is the same. However their acclimatization is quite different, which raises the issue with the upper universal comfortable range. In general people who live in hotter climates have a bit higher tolerance to high temperature than those living in continental climates. And vice-versa: their tolerance to lower temperatures is lower than the tolerance of the people from the continental climates. Here is a comparison of the UTCI - PET stress categories:
UTCI

I attached below an example of PET humid climate comparison with UTCI, for in-shade and out-shade conditions.As it can be seen UTCI shows the percent of time comfortable: two times higher than PET.
Thank you Pin, for the useful comment, on usage of "Analysis period" component.…

I am triangulating this surface. I want to select just the red vertices. As you can note, I just need the inner vertices of this surface. I could do it mannually, but if I want to change the mesh density later, I will have to pick all of them manually again later.
Can someone help me?
Tks

To be more precise, I'm not quite clear how to apply this equation to the helicoid and integrate it into my code:
where corresponds to a helicoid and to a catenoid.
I've made some attempts not worth to be shown here. Maybe somebody can help me with a pseudocode or a simple description how to start solving this classic geometric transformation.
Thanks, Sebastian

actually for performance issue, I should put "the continue for " on the first:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 9
If x <> 3 Then Continue For
If x = 3 Then
print("The number is 3.")
End If
