GhPython Workshop coming up this month. Tool developer Chris Mackey is teaching a live webinar titled - Making Your Own Python Components. More information and registration at https://attendee.gototraining.com/42b11/register/4476111114579892225

Hi Benjamin,

Your terrain models look great. I have been looking at the photo of your Mini-watershed terrain sculpting model which looks great, I was wondering how you did this?

Thanks,

Kayleigh

Thanks! That's a lot of good info. Gonna take me a while to get through this, but I've got the whole semester. Gotta learn Python some, but what's another language?

Here's a link to the page where I post stuff for the class, if you want to check up on me later (not sure if it is a public site or not):

You said "In order to make a grasshopper component that reads shapefiles, I either have to convert all the shapefile reading code to C# or find a way to embed ironpython in a grasshopper component." Is this code something you can share? If so, I'd be interested in coverting it to VB and of course sharing that with everyone. Unless there is a technical reason that VB won't work.

Okay, I'm dropping you a line now. (a year later)

I'm just starting out a semester-long project involving geospatial data in general, but specifically using GH's computation to work with GIS and GPS. When we last spoke I had just been dabbling, but I've got serious interest in this now. I've not reviewed your work yet, but from a cursory glance, I think you might be doing some things I was looking at trying (importing shapefile data for one). I'm also interested in Google Earth's KML file format - have you played with that at all?

I'll go look at Finches and see what you're up to.
