I can play with general thickness and "one by one" placement

I wish only one cursor for the placement of all objects!

So wanted a node who deal with the numeric value of the cursor (surely existing...) and dispatch it after a treatment so multibranching...

PS No simple "Box" node ? I ha extruded a rectangle but...

I believe that i have found something as arborescence working! :)
Pink & pale green links can be multiple from the start!

Only one cursor, any numbers of objects with different regulates! (of course i must make each object after the cursor... )

but that will work! :) here only 2 volumes and Points for test...

Does it existing somewhere list of nodes with examples result ?

Hi Pilou,

As far as I know, there is no list of nodes with examples result, other than scattered examples in this thread.
I did do 2 pages on the Points Array Node, and MathPts Array Node. (unfinished...)

As you have doubtless seen, I did do graphics of the Menus, in MS Word last winter.

Have no time now, to check out your new node program:-(

This last node is just test ...no special utility except for me for explore some strategies :)

No Box as volume ? This is curious!

In fact there is a "native" node "Progression" ! :D (arithmetic & Geometric)

And the "loop" is include inside the node...so only one volume is necessary at the start!
No need headaches for make loop structure! :) (for the moment)
Next step will be the random gap and from a given list!

http://moiscript.weebly.com/uploads/3/9/3/8/3938813/progression.nod





Curseur = Cursor, Bouge = Move, Sélectionné = Selected, Pas à Pas = Step by Step
Objets = Objects, Vers = Out, Facteur = Factor, Nombre = Number, Sortie = OutPut
Titre = Tittle

But normally your must be in English...

Cool! There is an Import CVS Nodes! :) http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9358.1

Not yet find how use to it with any Selected Object(s) (for have the Input "Pinky" links)

But works fine with generic objects :)



Cylindre = Cylinder, Vers = Out, Sortie = OutPut
Centre = Center, Rayon = Radius, Hauteur = Height

It was trivial but the node ExtractPts is not in the classic Elephant but in the "extention" : http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=9358.1

So we can take now any object(s)! :)
And any sort of gaps but by external tricks (Excel or similar spreadsheet)
...wished of course an internal one...but that is better than nothing! :)

Allways not found the generic "Box" if existing ???
so use here a selected before drawn one!



Extraire = ExtractPts
Bouge = Move, Sélectionné = Selected,
Objets = Objects, Vers = Out, Sortie = OutPut

next will be the "internal" random gap...without Excel...
...and of course random size of the boxes!

For the fun...




Curseur = Cursor, SphèrePts= SpherePts, Nombre = Number,
Centre = Center, Vers = Out, Sortie = OutPut

So I have the total control about size, gaps position for object(s) but with 2 external csv files!
So not yet that i want : the result is good but not the method wanted! :)

Seems node Scale has priority to the node Move!

(always a pity that a repository of nodes don't existing...for see how each node is working)
I surely make it in next months because it's pretty hard to random test each one by one... :)





Bouge = Move, Sélectionné = Selected, Extraire = Extract
Objets = Objects, Vers = Out, Nombre = Number, Sortie = OutPut

Another strategy
No total control (because random) but cool result! :)





Sélectionné = Selected, Curseur = Slider, Objets de Base = Base Objects, Différence = Difference
Soustracteurs = Substractors, Bouge = Move, Objets = Objects, De = In, Vers = Out, Sortie = OutPut

Works as aspected :)

Looking Good, Pilou,

I'm delighted to see that you have caught the bug (Elephantitus: pathological mania for NodeEditor)

Here's something that I did with NE, that made me think of you
& your enduring enthusiasm for TopMod.



Keep going with Noding; the possibilities are endless

ah yes, the golden age! ;) I had believed that was one of my old images! :)
https://issuu.com/frenchy_pilou/docs/topmod

Cool adaptation of the crazzy TopMod!

PS You have keept all "nodes" of your graphic images ?

PSS I had the virus for a long time but it was sleeping! :)
http://moiscript.weebly.com/elephant-systegraveme-nodal.html

I will need your help in few month when i will make the repository of the English/ French Elephant nodes composants!
(+ a very little example)

Because many nodes are always a mystery for me...and I believe that will be useful for someones!
(something more modest like that... http://rhino.github.io/#System

Sure endless when you see that! :) https://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/tutorials-1

Does exist a "Loop" (?) for make "x" times the same thing ?
For avoid to write 100 times the same thing! :)



The Node "Box" (?) "Cube" (?) ... is always absent ?

Pilou,

Many nodes are multiprocessing, so in example of circle node, will take multiple inputs of radii
& output multiple circles.

@ James Yes but write 100 constants or more are some painful! :)

I have seen that , does this "Loop" that I wish ?

Reread the more 1500 posts for found something about Loop !

find post 1382... not very explicit for me but...i found the root! :)

Ps @ Michael : an object (say a solid) created by Elephant ( Elephant stopped or not) is just selectable by "box selection" and not by a simple click!

Hi Pilou,

re:

> just selectable by "box selection" and not by a simple click!

The object probably has hit testing turned off, there is a .setHitTest(bool) method on objects that can turn it on or off. Some geometry factories probably set it to off so that you won't start snapping on to the objects that have just been generated. That's for stuff like in the Extrude command you don't want to get object snaps on the object generated from your last mouse move.

If you run this script and do something to redraw the view (like zoom/pan/rotate) it should go back to normal behavior:

script: var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); obj.setHitTest( true ); }

It's probably something that the node editor should do automatically on its output objects.

Thx for the info!
