Grasshopper 0.7.0054 available for download

Grasshopper 0.7.0054 is now available for download. This release focuses mainly on Galapagos improvements, but there are also some other bits and pieces:

● Added Nurbs Curve Knot Vector component.

● Added an Item Index component.

● Changed the InsertList component logic to be more flexible and predictable.

● Grasshopper geometry is no longer encased in bounding box markers.

● Added more selection and navigation mechanisms to Galapagos interface.

● Added founder population boost factor to Galapagos.

● Added avoidance and collision algorithms to the Galapagos genome factory.

● Galapagos species and population viewers now support multiple generations.

● Galapagos can now use output parameters as fitness values as well as floating parameters.

● Galapagos genome map now properly displays parental and dead-end genomes all the time.

● Galapagos can now maximize, minimize and optimize genome fitness values.

● The viewport now remains responsive while Galapagos is running.

○ Fixed arrow key navigation in the Galapagos Species Statistics viewer.

○ Fixed a bug with input parameter visual tags and erroneous grip locations.

○ Fixed a bug with the Curve Frames component.

○ Fixed Grasshopper preview geometry being visible in Page Layout views.

Enjoy,

David

Great! Thank you

Possible Bug?

The grouping does not undo. To illustrate: if you create a component then add another component to the canvas and group the two together if you then undo it removes the second component but leaves the grouping around the first component.

Definitely a bug. Group creation is not recorded by the undo mechanism. I'll fix it.

Thanks,
David

hey david, any plans to get offset curves working better?

thanks for the new update!

Hi David

Thanks for the update.

I cannot seem to make the item index component to work. I keep getting -1 as an output

Regards
William

Hi William,

it only detects the same data. Not data with the same value.

David,

Could you add in the functionality to make the Item Index Component actually search for the same value? The difference between "same data" and "same value" is not very clear. Intuitively, the following should work. Both are lists of strings. Both have the same data tree. And both share certain values (C,D,H). Can you explain in more detail how these have different data?
