This definition is the interior of a cluster I created that allows for the culling of duplicate items of any type based on a criteria. In this case, we are culling lines based on their mid point. Use the criteria carefully.

Dithering is a technique to avoid banding or moire patterns. This technique consists in a probabilistic choice of values instead of a deterministic one. Photoshop has a dithering filter called “Spatter”, while Gimp offers precise options for dithering purposes. However, using an external image editor to reduce the range of a number of values is […]
This is my take to the problem of splitting multiple curves in their intersections. There may be other approaches, and there are even components inside plugins that do this, but I wanted to have my own in-house solution so I could understand what is going on. The image on the left shows the original 7 […]
One of the features I have learned to love in Rhino is the Print to JPG feature. Unfortunately, this is still not available to Rhino 5 for Mac users, but there is a solution. The secret is using the ViewCaptureToFile command in its command line variant, -ViewCaptureToFile. From here, you can type the full path or […]
Another take on the problem of shaping a list of numbers according to a graph visual definition. The reason for not applying a Graph Mapper component directly deals with the way Graph Mapper has its settings adjusted. These are accessible through a double-click on the component, disallowing any kind of parametric adjustments (as with the […]
A friend of mine who has been a long time SketchUp user has recently asked me how to do push pull in Rhino. Here is my take: Execute the command SplitFace If you want to split by a line, simply draw it (activate Near or other OSnap recommended) You have the option to split by an existing (previously drawn) […]
Architectural models are usually very good at representing space and rather bad at representing time. We can model a wall, a roof or an entire building in detail, but it is much harder to ask a simple historical question: what existed here in 1700? Historical Time is a small experimental plug-in I developed for Rhino […]
I had a dream… for a long time. Be able to easily compare climbs from GPX data. Some years ago, I built a Grasshopper GPX compare tool, with 3D visualization and such… but not useful for the everyday person. So now, thanks to some AI help, I have built a webpage that takes care of […]

It is quite common to find people confused by the notion of DPI and its influence in media size. DPI is nothing else than the relation between virtual dimension (pixels) and real dimension (inches/centimeters). To ease this understanding and everyday calculations, I created this simple spreadsheet in Google Docs accessible to anyone. You just need […]
You can reach here for the interactive chart. The COVID-19 outbreak has been the subject of various studies and infographics. One of the most used is the Visual Dashboard by Johns Hopkins CSSE. I created this tool because I wanted to be able to compare statistics between two countries, and I haven’t found any tool […]
