Is there a way to import a volumetric 3dgrid from ecotect to grasshopper, convert those voxels into meshes and finally keep only the voxel cubes that correspond to the highest value of the solar analysis?

Hi Yiannis,

yes it is possible with the lua component and some custom written scripts

so you need 3 variabels based on the position of the voxel in its 3Darray (i,j,k)

position:

x, y, z

1:get.grid3d.postion i j k;

value, state:

1:get.grid3d.cell i, j, k, [index]);

index: Each 3D grid cell has up to 3 different slots for storing values.

state could be:

1 Visible and selected

0 Visible but not selected

-99 Disabled

-100 Hidden

-100 Hidden and selected

best to]

Hi [uto]!

First of all regards for your plug-in, wich is literally fantastic...

Unfortunately i have a small problem regarding it! ...from Grasshopper i would like to run a script made in LUA language on the Ecotect enviroment but when i insert the LUA's "run.app" cmd, made with VB as a string, the Geco's "lua communication" command says: solution exception: input string was not in a correct format>>.

I hope you can help me as i tried really everything!!!

Hi to]...

I don't wanna be so insistent, but my problem with the file paths misunderstanding with lua (my reply is just before your post) still continue after I've also updated Grasshopper's verison and Geco's!

If you can help me with my "filepath" problem i would appreciate it, i really need this job to be done...

Thanks again,

Regrads
