Space Syntax

Information

Space Syntax is a theory of architecture and built environment that seeks to explain the effect of spatial configurations on behavioral patterns of people. SYNTACTIC tools bring Space Syntax theory into parametric design workflows. More information on syntactic design methodology:

i wish the best for your bro

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on September 2, 2014 at 2:40am: Hi Agneesh, There are a few components that I have not released yet, simply because one of them doesn't properly function. I have decided to release all in a week or so because some people have been asking for them. Then I will announce a challenge for correcting that one component. I wanted to make a complete package but academic life pressure is too high to allow for that.

Best regards

Comment by Agneesh on September 1, 2014 at 3:32pm: Hi Pirouz,

If possible could you please reply to my query wrt cardinal directions ?

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on September 1, 2014 at 5:56am: Hi Sarah and Fateme,

I have seen this error before. the method (said to be missing) is actually from Rhinocommon library and is definitely part of Rhino. As solved before; I guess this is because your Rhino is not up-to-date. To make sure your Rhino is up to date, you can go to Rhino/Tools/Options/Updates and Statistics and press "check now". I hope this helps, otherwise let me know.

Comment by sarah Ceravolo on August 31, 2014 at 7:01pm: Hello,

If anyone knows why and how to resolve this issue, the same as posted in Fateme's image below

1. Solution exception:Method not found: 'Boolean Rhino.

.Line.EpsilonEquals(Rhino.Geometry.Line, Double)

Could you please help me?

Thanks,

Sarah.

Comment by Fateme Jafari on August 29, 2014 at 3:22pm: Hi Pirouz

I checked my rhino and grasshopper versions and they are not old versions. I have rhino 5 and grasshopper 9.0075.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on August 27, 2014 at 12:49pm: Have a deadline right now, will get back to your problem on Friday. It has been mentioned before here and I suspect there is the same problem of old/inundated versions of Rhino. Please check the former posts here.

Comment by Fateme Jafari on August 27, 2014 at 11:29am: Hi Agneesh

Thank you for your suggestion. I checked all the curves once more but unfortunately it didn't work.

Comment by Agneesh on August 26, 2014 at 8:08pm: Hey there,

Not entirely sure, but do you wanna double check that curves are LINES and not a POLYLINES?

Comment by Fateme Jafari on August 26, 2014 at 5:24pm: Hi, I installed space-syntax and I tried to follow the video to learn it. but I had problem in the first step. when I connect the curve to the "graph from nodes and links" object it turns red and shows an error. could you please help me?
