Puzzled by Polycentric Distribution

I am conducting a research on visualizing different minutes walk from the designative parks to residential buildings like the figure below. I hope the minute gradients are 5min, 10min, 15min and…Continue

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on January 10, 2014 at 9:07am: Hi Anthony, Thanks for your comment. Indeed, it would be interesting to be able to bake colored lines. However, the lines are just previewed by those colors in the methods we are using. In any case, given that you have the output colors, you may bake the lines using these tools by Giulio Piacentino:

Keep in touch!

Comment by Anthony P. Ar on January 10, 2014 at 4:48am: Excellent plugin. I´m working with it and it is very interesting and usesfull, but I have one problem. I can´t bake the results of the analyse.For example, when I bake Networkdistancecalculator i can´t bake de colours of the lines, or when i want to bake plot measures i can´t have de colours of the plots only the boundry of it.

I don´t know how to become the grasshopper analys to vectorial objects in rhino.

Comment by Samane on December 31, 2013 at 1:36pm: Dear Michalis,

Thanks for your support and letting us know! We have forgotten to make this input as an optional one. We will fix it as soon as possible.

Happy new year!

Comment by Michalis Takopoulos on December 31, 2013 at 11:34am: Hello to everyone. I have just tested the plug-in and I think that is a very useful tool.

The only thing that I want to mention is about the "walker" component. When i don't use any topography and I work in a plan lanscape, I have to make a plane mesh as reference in order to connect it with the input of the topography of the component. Eitherwise it is not going to work. Another solution it would be the component to recognise that it does not need any topography info when everythng is in the same level (plan landscape). Continue the good work!

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on December 23, 2013 at 4:18pm: Hi Atis, Thanks for your comment. If you mean a physical modifications by design; I should say such methods are not included in this toolkit. In any case, according to a definition, a planned change in an existing situation towards a better one could be considered as design. You may use the results you get from these component to do changes or organizations on urban settlements.For instance, the distribution component could be used to define the density of plots around important locations. If you can think of other generic method that you would like to have for designing, please let us know.

Comment by Atis Sedlenieks on December 21, 2013 at 3:37am: ok, everything is great and so, but.. it would be great to see some designing use examples of this plugin, as for now i see it as great analysis tool..
