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.

A common question I get is: how to replicate a “if then else” statement in Grasshopper. Here is my take. Explanation: if “First Number” is larger than “Second Number”, then output A, else output B. Or: if (FirstNumber>SecondNumber) {A} else {B}
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 […]
Contrary to most people I meet, I am a Magic Mouse fan. I never had any wrist pain, and I love the 2D touch scroll. Having said that, the mouse comes with some incompatibilities with graphical software packages, namely Blender and Rhino Grasshopper. This post is about the latter. To make the Grasshopper canvas Zoom […]
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 […]
In this little algorithm I build a single mesh for each face of the parent mesh. One of the great challenges is the duplication of data (Vertices) as to feed the Faces component.
This Blender add-on is a fork I modified from the original “Import Wavefront (.obj)” which ships with the official Blender release. The motivation for the creation of this modification is the maintenance of materials upon importing new geometry. A common workflow in architecture visualization is the iterative import of exported models from other software, such […]
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 […]
A renewed interest in stereotomy, narrowly entwined with digital technologies, has allowed for the recovery and proposal of new techniques and expressions in this building approach. A new classification scheme for stereotomy research allows for the framing of various aspects related to this discipline, including a newly developed fabrication system specially tailored for the wedge-shaped […]
I use kumu for research, which enables me to organize information and find interesting relations through clusters. For a clear organization of all the information, I input everything in a spreadsheet, much like in a database. I even include the images in the Google spreadsheet as URL’s, that kumu then renders in nice round thumbnails. Sometimes […]
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 […]
