Can you do a quick recompile for 0.7?

hi robert

we will soon recompile for 0.7 but we wait for the rhino 5 64-bit version
i hope you can wait.....

I can wait, but because of the way rhinocommon works if you compile for 32 bit it will also work in 64 bit unless you plan on using 64 bit specific features.

Hi

aren't there things missing in the definition ? It doesn't match the video (http://vimeo.com/11506212)

May be obvious for experienced GH users but I don't know how to put colors on my mesh once all the data have been imported from ecotect, I added the components of the video but I can't see what is the component between "decompose mesh" and "mesh" components.

can you help please ?

Have you ever try to simulate perforated metal sheet?
I'm trying to calculate the daylight factor of some skylights with a dotted pattern generated in grasshipper. My question is that it will be very heavy to translate from GH to ecotect.
PS: can we use radiance desktop instead of the default ecotect engine? It gives more accurate results.

Thank you for the plugin.

hi andrea - if you are interested I collaborated on a link between radiance and grasshopper a while back. It is nowhere near as elegant as this - it is only a scripting component, no custom gha, but it should allow you to achieve what you're talking about.
