algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Grasshopper 0.8.0002 available for download
Hi All,
Grasshopper 0.8.0002 is available for download. It's been a while since the last release, but I'm working with the core Rhino team for a while so it's hard to focus on continuous development.
Changes since 0.8.0001:
● !! This release is build against .NET 3.5 instead of 2.0 !!
● Added conditional If(condition, A, B) method to the Grasshopper expression language.
● Added Rectangle geometric primitive.
● Added Rectangle3d to the Script type hints.
● Added a FilePath parameter.
● Rectangle and Rectangle 3pt now output Rectangles when appropriate.
● Grid Components now output Rectangles.
● Added a Substrate Component (based on original idea by J. Tarbell).
● Added a FitCrv component.
● Added a Pick'n'Choose component to combine multiple lists into one.
● Added a Collapse Polyline component.
● Added a Planar Surface component.
● Added a Radial Grid component.
● Added zero-length segment removal to the old Polyline component.
● Added two Relative Tree Item components, bit experimental, not sure where to go with this yet.
● Added a Selected-Only filter to the Grasshopper preview.
● Added wire display properties to all floating and input parameters.
● Added Close Document button to the MDI menu.
● Autopanning is now triggered both by Canvas edges and Screen edges.
● Added customized cursors to the Galapagos Genome Linker.
● Rewrote the Timer object. Be on the lookout for breaking behaviour and new bugs.
● Added a new Ctrl+Shift rewiring editing mode for parameter wires.
● Redesigned a bunch of Cursors and removed support for Windows pre-NT cursors.
● Wire Action cursors are now visible before the action begins (i.e. when the mouse hovers over a grip).
● Cursor Resources are now cached instead of loaded from the disk every time.
● Improved Abort icon mouse blocking.
● Rewrote all casting logic to use jump-tables for better performance. Watch out for bugs in data conversion.
● Removed a lot of (over?)cautious validity tests for geometry inputs.
● Twisted Box parameters are now Bake-Aware.
● Updated the QWhale libraries, typing VB and C# code should be somewhat less frustrating.
○ Fixed a bug with multi-line tooltip description layouts.
○ Fixed a bug with surface reparameterization.
○ Fixed the selection rectangle not being visible when no document is loaded.
○ Fixed the Find function short-cut display in the Canvas popup menu.
○ Fixed a bug with AHSL colour components and hue values out of the 0.0~1.0 range.
○ Fixed a bug with Point parameter expression (de)serialization.
○ Fixed a bug with Surface Normal evaluation and flipped surfaces.
○ Fixed a bug with the Bake dialog.
○ Fixed a core SDK problem with the curve offset algorithms.
○ Fixed a bug with number slider menus not working over the rail box.
○ Fixed a potential crash case with the Grasshopper Banner and invalid Library Icons.
○ Fixed a bug with Tiled sampling in the Image Sampler.
○ Fixed excessive undo event recording during Alt+Arrow nudging of Components.
Hope you enjoy these incremental updates. And as always; be sure to back up important work, drive safely, be nice to people you meet and don't pet squirrels, they're flea infested vermin.

hey, unfortunatelly this version has a bug at the offset component that the previous one didn't have. i doesn't seem to work with negative values on some geometry (like the one used in a definiton that worked yesterday with gh8.01 but gives an error with 8.02.)
i attached the part of the def that gives the error, in case anyone wants to take a look - Attachments:

great, thanks a lot!

yep, works now, thanks!
(as you probably saw, there still is a bug, that i don't mind at the moment, but maybe others do: when you offset the cells of the grid on the inside, they start randomly "breaking" although they didn't reach their minimum size) -

Thanks David!
I love the new ctrl-tab document-switching interface! And it's nice that clusters replace the previous components now.
You should know you are now responsible for the presence of Substrate in student architecture projects for years to come. The new voronoi? Maybe....
Request: When choosing from the existing icons when creating a user object, it would be nice if the generic cluster icon didn't show up once for every cluster you've saved - once is probably sufficient.
Can you explain a little more about what relative tree item is meant to accomplish? -

Hey Andrew,
I'm away from a computer but curious about what substrate is. Can you shoot a screen?
Cheers,
taz
P.S. Thanks David, I shall find a suitable congratulatory LOLcat later. -
