LB terrain generator

Hi All,

During these days I have written a new component called LB terrain generator.
I have studied a bit GEO components of gHowl and Google's API.
And I read that there are some limitations when you use Google's API, especially if you'd like to achieve a great quantity of data without overloading Google's servers.

I used a way to request data without overloading Google's servers by using a tiling method. Obviously, this component respects the limit of 2500 requests per day.

This is how the component works:

1) set one point and its coordinates

2) generate surfaces by using isotrim component (Basically, each sub-surface is a request)

3) set the number of division of each surface and the resolution of Google static maps

4) run, move points and generate surfaces with surface from points

5) apply textures to the surfaces

In the image below another small example:

I was thinking that this should be useful for wind simulation with Butterfly, maybe.

Best

Antonello

Same error. So it has something to do with how the internet security they have at my workplace deals with the way component collects data.I changed a boolean in the py which generates the error statement. It generates this error then -

Saket,

Judging from the error message and the fact that it is working on your personal laptop but not a work laptop, I would guess that the error has something to do with a company firewall or antivirus software. If you could find a way to disable this or add an exception, my guess is that it should work.

Thanks for the input Chris,

I will get in touch with IT and see what they can do about it.

btw add an exception to ...? Rhino?
