Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

This is the second release of Gismo plugin.
It mainly fixes some of the reported bugs, but also adds the following features:


1) Gismo got a new developer: Guillaume Meunier.
Guillaume is an Architect, Engineer and Researcher from France with broad programming experience. He is the author of the City in 3D Rhinoceros plugin for creation of buildings according to geojson file and with real elevation.
Guillaume already created a new component: "Address to Location". It enables getting latitude and longitude values for the given address:


2) Support of Bathymetry data: automatic creation of underwater (sea/river/lake floor) terrain. This feature is now available through new source_ input of the "Terrain generator" component.
Here is an example of terrain of the Loihi underwater volcano, of the coast of Hawaii:


3) A new terrain source has been added: ALOS World 3D 30m.
ALOS is a Japanese global terrain data. Gismo "Terrain Generator" component has been using SRTM 30m terrain data, which hasn't been global and was limited to -56 to +60 latitude range.
With this addition, it is possible to switch between SRTM and ALOS World 3D 30m models with the use of source_ input.

4) 9 new components have been added:

"Address To Location" - finds latitude and longitude coordinates for the given address.

"XY To Location" - finds latitude and longitude coordinates for the given Rhino XY coordinates.
"Location To XY" - vice versa from the previous component: finds Rhino XY coordinates for the given latitude longitude coordinates.
"Z To Elevation" - finds elevation for particular Rhino point.
"Rhino text to number" - convert numeric text from Rhino to grasshopper number.
"Rhino unit to meters" - convert Rhino units to meters.
"Deconstruct location" - deconstructs .epw location.
"New Component Example" - this component explains how to make a new Gismo component, in case you are interested to make one. We welcome new
developers, even if you contribute a single component to Gismo!
"Support Gismo" - gives some suggestions on how to make Gismo better, how to improve it and support it.

5) Ladybug "Terrain Generator" component now supports all units, not only Meters. So any Gismo example file which uses this component, can now use Rhino units other than Meters as well. Thank you Antonello Di Nunzio for making this happen!!

Basically just forget about this yellow panel:

This panel is not valid anymore, so just use any unit you want.

6) A number of bugs have been fixed, reported in topics for the last couple of weeks.
We would like to thank members in the community who invested their time in testing, finding these bugs and reporting them: Rafat Ahmed, Peter Zatko, Mathieu Venot, Abraham Yezioro, Rafael Alonso. Thank you guys!!!
Apologies if we forgot to mention someone.

Any new suggestions, testing and bug reports are welcome!!

Abraham did you get an email notification about my latest reply, posted 5 of minutes ago?
It seems to be deleted, while my profile page still registers it.

Hi Djordje,

Thanks again for your prompt answer.

Yes, i get the message. It makes sense. I'll give the editor a try ... soon :-)

-A.

Hi Abraham,

Glad the message went through. For some reason I couldn't see it in two different internet browsers. Now it can be seen. This was probably a problem on my side. Sorry for panicking.


The JOSM editor requires some initial setup, before being able to edit the OSM content. This video explains it well.

Even though there is already plenty of data in the OSM database itself, I think that using Gismo would probably at some point require from the user to start adding new elements to the OSM data base. Which can then be used not only by Gismo plugin but all other services around the world which rely itself on the OSM data. Even though this may look like a tedious and difficult task to do, it's actually quite interesting and fun.
Thank you once again for your time, and testing, and I am looking forward to see your contributions to Haifa OSM map!

is gismo near to be rhinoceros 6 avaliable?

thanks!

Hi Leonardo,

Definitively. At the moment I still do not own Rhino 6. This does not affect that much the testing, as I may be able to do it from someone's PC (which has Rhino 6). But it does affect the support in case users have issues, as I can not replicate them. But hopefully, soon enough Gismo will support Rhino 6 as well.
