OLD FLAG

Hi all!

Maybe it has been answered many times before, but google inside can't find....

When opening a GH file some modules or componets get flagged as "OLD" wit a diagonal orange banner.

is there any way of "autoupdating" this elements wit the updated ones (besides replacing one by one ofcourse)

Many thanks in advance and sorry for the basicness of my question.

regards

Ale

Note it is not possible to upgrade all legacy components. Only certain conversions have been automated.

Thanks David... yep i notice that center component has no upgrade, maybe It's deprecated?

by the way.... I really have to say that Grasshopper is just what it should be.... I feel like a child with a new toy!

many Thanks for all you effort and knowledge sharing!

Thanks Ale. Often when there's no auto-upgrader I was just too lazy to write one. It's incredibly tedious to write upgrade algorithms. Very occasionally the behaviour of the new component is sufficiently different from the old one that upgrading requires an actual human who understands the logic of the file.

The center component? I don't remember that one, could be that if you just plug a circle/arc into a point parameter it does the same thing as the center component used to do... maybe.

I wish I could help on writing algorithms... (maybe I could learn
used to be lisp programmer twenty years ago ;-) )

The center component help says:

Center

Find the center point and radius of arcs and circles.

Input parameters:

A (Arc): Arc or Circle

Output parameters:

C (Point): Center of arc or circle
R (Number): Radius of arc or circle

And the deconstruct arc/circle says:

Deconstruct Arc

Retrieve the base plane, radius and angle domain of an arc.

Input parameters:

A (Arc): Arc or Circle to deconstruct

Output parameters:

B (Plane): Base plane of arc or circle
R (Number): Radius of arc or circle
A (Domain): Angle domain (in radians) of arc; Both components have the same symbol.; regards; Ale
