t difficult to know how to modify your curves.
But if the curves are too weird or too different, it won't get much better. Remember you can still move control points while kangaroo is running.
The wrong of this method is that you don't have real control.
Setting deviation to 0 is usually not very useful unless your curves are almost good. With the wavy curves you sent me, I was happy with 2 (Deviation is something like a % of the curve length).
I much prefer the other method. Curves with few control points, you're able to define tangencies, you've got high degree continuity. With 4 to 5 cp, Galapagos will have a wide range of shapes to explore. With more cp you'll get smooth tuning. You can still take the relaxed surface as a base to draw such curves.
Other ways to increase developability.
First is obviously Sampling. This one is quite tricky. Higher sampling might result in either better or worse results. It's very cpu expensive too, because it involves a little more than (Sampling)² operations each time.
Second is the surface type. Usually Network surface is the best, and allows to join multiple planks with less sampling. It's more expensive too, and runs only with Rhino 5. Loft tight is a decent replacement.
The "Reverse curve list" button, and the multi planks mode when you input more than 2 curves.
But everything depends on your tolerances and that I can't answer.
There are still some bugs here and there, especially in the cusp filter part. Sorry about the unit of Gaussian curvature, I forgot to fix it. It's model units, so it should be [1/m²] in your case.
About the pc slowing, it's really vital to block timers all the time and turn phasma on and off when you must. I experienced some slowing today though, and I was worried, but it's normal now so it must have been Windows or some GUI thing...

I am not knowledgeable about google maps nor google maps api, but from what I read the two components will definitely show a bit different results due to different topography sources.If it is judging by this 2010 article, your Terrain Generator component offers much higher precisions for USA. Precision goes up to a couple of meters, which is amazing!!On the global scale it offers either SRTM 1 or 3 arc-second data or 30 arc-second GLOBE data. Again this is from the mentioned article, I couldn't find this information by searching the Google Maps website.Terrain Generator 2 component always uses SRTM 1 arc-second data from opentopography.org, and it is limited to 60 degrees north and does not have data for Antarctica. It does not come with satellite image either which is another very convenient feature that you have!I couldn't find information about the allowed radius provided by the Google maps api free account. I limited the "radius_" input to 100 000 meters, even though opentopography.org provides more than that (I successfully downloaded 300 000, but Rhino 5 was not able to create a topography on my PC from such a large amount of data).Even though I couldn't compare the results from two components, by looking at your upper example_LB_terrain_generator.gh definition: set the "I" input of "Surface from points" component to True. In this way the surface will be interpolated through points, which is what we want.
Again thank you for the permission, and I look forward seeing those high precision topography that Google maps offers!!…
requiredKeys_ input of the "OSM Shapes" component. This is not the source of your problem though, but still I mentioned it in case you solve your issue, and afterwards want to use the "OSM Shapes" component.
The current (Win32Exception): WindowsError is the very same error message that you reported back in February.For some reason, your Windows is not allowing the Gismo "OSM Shapes" component to delete C:\MapWinGIS_installation_folder\gdal-data\osmconf.ini file.
You previously solved it by allowing the full access control to it, so I am not sure why it is not working now.Windows 10 seems to be the most overprotected operating system among other Windows versions, at least judging by the questions people asked so far.
Maybe you can try to turn off all the services which prevent users from changing certain files, like UAC or maybe even your antivirus?
Try this:
1) Close your Grasshopper and Rhino.2) Restart your PC3) When it boots up again, in your Start menu's search box type: "UAC". Click on it, and a new User Account Control Settings window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".4) Completely turn off your Antivirus.5) Check once again if your access control to the C:\MapWinGIS_installation_folder\gdal-data\osmconf.ini file is still set to the values you previously reported in this post.6) Right-click on "Rhino 5" icon and then choose: "Run as administrator".7) When Rhino boots up, run Grasshopper, and open the newest create_3dbuildings_trees_streets.gh file from here.If none of this helps, maybe you have some other application which deals with access to files on your system? Malware removal application or similar? Try turning it off too.…

ot possible to run meshmachine within Kangaroo2?
Now my problem is similar to Farah's. In Grasshopper, the component does not work. The error message says:
1. Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'PlanktonGh, Version=0.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
So unlike Farah's error message it's looking for PlanktonGh and version 0.3.0.0
Trying this on a university PC
Cheers

Sunpath component. This is what I essentially did in the upper photo of my hometown's mask.For now this is working only for metric units. I will make sure that for the next release at least feets are supported as well.As for the saving of the time: try increasing the maxVisibilityRadius_ to say 300. Depending on your PC configuration and internet speed it may take as long as 15 minutes for the component to run. The topography file will first be downloaded from opentopography.org. That's the .tif file you noticed. Once the mask is created it will be saved to an .obj file. The next time you run it the mask will be imported from the .obj file, skipping the previous 15 minutes:
It still may take a a couple of minutes (depending on your PC configuration) for the component to complete loading of the mask. The reason why is: the mask needs to be scaled and centered according to the context_ input.Also the next time a user decides to change the maskStyle_ input or context_ input, the topography data will not be downloaded from the opentopography.org website, but rather created from the .tif file.For default maximalVisibility_ of 100, these .tif files are mostly a couple of megabytes, which is not that much of a burden on user's hard drive space. On the other hand keeping these .tif files on user's hard drive helps saving the opentopography bandwidth cap.Let me know if I can answer any further detail or if this one hasn't been clear.Hi Chris,
Thank you too.Please provide the following data:
1) Zip the "terrain shading mask libraries 32-bit" folder in "c:\ladybug" in case you have x86 version of Rhino 5, or "terrain shading mask libraries 64-bit" folder in case you have the 64 bit version of Rhino 5. Upload the zipped folder, and post the link in here, please.Zip the whole folder, not its content only.
2) What is the full name of the GDAL libraries .zip file that you downloaded? What is your Windows version and Rhino 5 version?
On genDayMtx.exe and install of the GDAL libraries: I am reluctant to avoid manual install due to blocking issue. Copying two folders manually is quite a small price to pay in comparison with finding the blocked library among tens of them.…
I change paramenters in GH sliders I see the progress in rhino with 4/5 seconds lag.
I think it is not an hardware issue, this is my configuration

Hi, I attach the project files; when I move the slider bubbles trying to slide from a little value to another (like 50, 120, ecc) the result on screen is slowly to be shown.My question is, with the pc configuration listed above, is it normal with this project?There are parameters I can set in Grasshopper or Rhino to have faster results?There's a specific driver or configuration for my video card to improve performance?I would be very interested to see if the hardware on my system allows optimal performance with grasshopper or is normal with a definition so short ,even if it is the Voronoi , the system so slow to refresh when I move the slider
Thank you for your time…
you post a screenshot of what the message coming from its readMe! output looks like?2) Close your Grasshopper and Rhino.3) Download "Revo Uninstaller Pro" from here. It is free for first 30 days, which is what we need.4) Right click on the RevoUninProSetup.exe and check if the file is blocked. If it is, unblock it.5) Run the RevoUninProSetup.exe file and install "Revo Uninstaller Pro".6) Uninstall "MapWinGIS" with "Revo Uninstaller Pro". It is important that "Revo Uninstaller Pro" deletes not only files from MapWinGIS installation folder, but also all other leftovers (as registry inputs). Here is a small tutorial on how to do that. Watch it from 6:10 till the end.7) Restart your PC8) When your Windows boots up, make sure that you are logged in as Administrator!9) In your Start menu's search box type: "UAC", which will find your User Account Control Settings. Click on it, and a new window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".10) Turn off your Windows Firewall.11) Then turn off your custom Firewall (in case you have another one, besides standard Windows Firewall).12) Completely turn off your Antivirus.13) Download again the MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe.exe file from here.14) Right click on the MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and see if it is blocked. If it is, unblock it.15) Right click on MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and choose: "Run as"... Administrator.16) One the installation preparation steps start, choose "Full installation". Wait for the MapWinGIS installation to finish.17) Right-click on "Rhino 5" icon and then choose: "Run as administrator".18) Open the the ironpython_admin.gh file again, and again post a screenshot of the message coming from its readMe! output.19) Drop the "Gismo Gismo" component to Grasshopper canvas. Post a screenshot of the message coming out from its readMe! output.
So we will need in total three screenshots of the readMe! output messages.
Thank you once again for being patient, and sorry for the large number of steps.…
