ers of the last surface in the Brep, however, only the corners of the bounding box of the surface are generated)
It seems the rs.SurfacePoints only returens the control points of a surface rather than the actual corners of the surface. Can you advise if there's a way to do it?
Thank you!

le of weeks. But if you are patient I think we will try to solve most of the issues.
For the TOF module, I find that no matter which inputs I provide, the optimalTilt is always 45 and the optimalAzimuth is always 180. I'm providing a weather file input and a north vector.
You are the second user who reported this which means that I was wrong in my assumption of setting a very low default value for the precision_ input, it should have been higher as more user friendly for beginners. Basically the TOF component results depend on the precision_ input. The best would be to set this value to 100, let your PC run the whole night, and in the morning you would get the most precise tilt and azimuth optimal angles. However, as some of us are using weaker PCs, and as sometimes the difference between results from precision_ = 100 and say precision_ = 30 is less than a degree, you can try using the precision_ = 30 for the start.
By default the precision_ is set to only 2. I will make sure this is increased in the next release of this component. Your topic definitively contributed to that!
Another thing I noticed is that "TOF" component does not support north_ inputs not equal to 0, in terms of graphical representation of results. It would probably take me some time to fix this. But the numerical results (which is what we need) are supported.
By looking at some other similar PV applications, I haven't seen the optimal tilt/azimuth graphical representation which supports change of north angle direction, so maybe this is not too much of an issue after all. The important thing is the numerical part, which is outputs correct results.
I'm then using the optimalTilt and optimalAzimuth outputs to supply the PV_SWH_SystemSize inputs for arrayTiltAngle and arrayAzimuthAngle - obviously this isn't actually doing anything useful at the moment as the outputs from the TOF are always 45 and 180.
It will make sence now, that you increase the upper precision_ input.
With the PV_SWH_SystemSize module, I'm having issues with the spacing it is providing between the rows of PV. I know it calculates this based on the sun position on a date based on the altitude of the location the weather file provides, but I think the spacing is far too large, especially for a rooftop array where the space is more like 1-2m normally. I'm trying to specify a summer date in the format the minimalSpacingDate output provides (15 NOV 15:00) so the calculated spacing is lower, but it just throws up an error whenever I do.
minimalSpacingPeriod_ input of the "PV SWH System Size" component accepts data from Ladybug "Analysis Period" component. But again, I apologize: as this is my mistake for not mentioning this in its docstring (that's the explanation you get when you hover your mouse over this input). I will make sure this gets added to the next release of "PV SWH System Size" component as well!
I also noticed a bug with "PV SWH System Size" component - at the moment the values it calculates are not correct if north_ input is not equal to 0. This is due to the component using another Ladybug developer's code which calculates sun position angles. For some reason this code does not support changing the north angle direction. I will contact the author to see how this can be solved.
So to be clear: it's not that all Ladybug Photovoltaics component do not support north_ inputs not equal to 0. It's that "PV SWH System Size" component currently does not due to the upper issue. And "Tilt and Orientation Factor (TOF)" component does not support for its graphical representation of results. I will see if at least the first one can be fixed.
Finally, it would be really useful to be able to get the PV_SWH_SystemSize component to actually produce the array it has created as Rhino geometry, so they can be viewed when rendered; is that possible? Also, is it possible to restrict the module so that it only creates rows with dimensions such that it fits within a surface you provide?
The PV_SWHsurface output of "PV SWH System Size" component contains Grasshopper geometry of all PV rows. Are you familiar with baking in Grasshopper?
I attached below an example of how to perform a shaded PV analysis. I rotated the whole context by 40 degrees so that the issue with "PV SWH System Size" component could be overlooked. When you determine your minimalSpacingPeriod_ input, we can internalize its "PV SWH System Size" output, rotate back your context and use "40" as a value for north_ input for all components.
Let me know if something was not clear, or if I replied vaguely to some of your questions.I apology in advance if it may take me a bit longer to answer to your next question. This spring period has really toughen my free time.…

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!!…
of the new challenges presented to the society and architecture in Portugal. With technological developments, tools once limited to not creative areas begin to be part of the everyday life of students in University Architecture Laboratories and change its design processes. The architecture design methods are changing rapidly with the introduction of CAD-CAM software’s. In recent years, new software’s have been available for 3D representation and digital fabrication, which have allowed creating new ways of interacting with the computer and architecture. Contemporary architecture in its various scales, seeks greater flexibility, adaptability and interactivity taking into account both the means and goals of kinetic systems. Thus, it is essential to the creative industry players to acquire new knowledge about the latest technological innovations and how they can solve some of the problems and challenges of today’s society.
The workshop will explore the use of Grasshopper, Firefly and Arduino as creative and technical tools in all the design process, to simulation and prototype 3D interactive architecture solutions.
The theoretical and practical workshop (64 hours) taught in English and Portuguese, will be composed of two modules: (1) LS_01: Firefly +Grasshopper + Arduino and Scale Model Fabrication; (2) LS_02: Design Studio – Discursive Wall.
This workshop is intended for students and professionals from different areas of knowledge, (architecture, design, fine arts, engineering, music and programming) who are interested in the process of design: from ideation to prototyping. The participants will generate scale models.
Registration is limited to 20 participants with or without software knowledge. Participants will work individually and in group. Participants must take their own laptops to the workshop. Registrants should complete the form by 28 February 2012. Once registered, you will receive an email confirming your acceptance.
