Here is the vectorMethods file that I use in my videos...  up to chapter 5 anyway.  

I'll look into a good way to share python files easily because I think that would benefit the community greatly.

Hi guys,

I'm experiencing an error in my custom component which I couldnt the reason.

whenever I press Ctrl+C pbutton to copy the component in GH canvas this error occurs:

In debug mode,I could not  find the method which is to be called after ctrl+c or such event to toggle breakpoint and revise.

(after trying to copy the component…

We've been making some tools that give us more control over the transition of data between grasshopper and other design platforms.  So far we have connections from Grasshopper to Revit and Catia V5.

You can check out an example and download the plugins from our post:…

I was looking at a post earlier today, which got me thinking about the logic of how to collect intersected curves into discrete, closed cells. This got me looking at this …

Hi Guys,

I am thinking of having a custom preview component which recieves a list of data(let say list of object cross section) and one index(say i) and then component shows that object on itself.something like this:

the list is a list…

My grasshopper definitions often leave me with many (100's or 1000's) seperate mesh parts, that I then want to boolean for 3d printing.

I've never found a good, affordable software to do this for (have used friends with super expensive stuff, sometimes); and unfortunately rhino's mesh booleans don't work very well for me.

So, any tips on good, affordable software for mesh booleans?

 I have always been fascinated by 'doodling and scribbling'. I think what we do, apparently irrationally, in our little free time, in our boredom of classes, at the back of our exercise book, or at the corner of the bench are, perhaps one of the most direct reflections of what is happening in our brain in the unconscious delineated through our psycho motor. I have had this urge to explore the geometry and its behavior of our rather intuitive…

This update to mesh(+) is a revision of the Face Effects and Face Subdivide categories which introduces list inputs for controlling face and vertex based variables on the input meshes.

For Face Effect components this means that a unique variable can be passed for each face in a single mesh while for Face Subdivide components the variable can be passed for each vertex.

- For Face Effects components all (c,s,d,t) values allow a list of variable to be passed which correspond to…

Hi Guys,

I am trying to define a custom type to use it in between some component I am developing.I encountered a problem you may already know how to solve and can help.

my data type is a class like this:

 public class BaseProfile()

public BaseProfile(params object[] cellList)

 { this.ArticleNumber = (int)cellList[0];

   this.SystemName = (string)cellList[1];

    this.Material = (string)cellList[2];

    this.Shape = (string)cellList[3];

 ...}…

Quokka v0.3b has been released and is available on the download page. The major changes are:

• Options have been split out to individual display and trim option components.
• Compiled against Kinect for Windows SDK v1.8, the most recent version.
• Added colour information output for point data which may be used, for example, in Custom Preview or Giulio Piacentino’s bakeAttributes components.
