Hi Karsten
I've only seen this ......
Wooh...... Great Karsten ,
this is my desired Series

Hello Al,

that's only a waste product, as a matter of fact the node was made for a index selection - to select points from a pointarray sequence (have a look in structure2).Nevertheless you can use it also for that.

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Friends,
my " Work Test" will continue....
Here's a small test of the new nodes ,
Extract-Sel Pattern- Curve Length
Have a nice day to all

Hi AL,

...very interesting elaboration !

Thanks!

Hi al, I've been very sad to hear about the terrible earthquakes over there. I hope for good luck and speedy rebuilding for you and your country.

Hi Michael,

> "I hope for good luck and speedy rebuilding for you and your country."

Unfortunately all the recent disasters of my country, Italy, seems to have taught nothing to all our political class...

But we Italians never give up, despite of our politicians!

Best,

Best wishes for all the Italian people to persevere, Marco!

- Michael

Heartfelt thanks Michael!

See you,

Hi Michael and Friends
I endorse the words of Marco
Many thanks to all of you

Hi Karsten and Friends
an exercise on use of new nodes
Index, Sel Pattern, Flow .....
I had to give up doing the Fillet and Blend
between the two tape forms,
The result was not stable ...
Flow works best with curved input
rather than surfaces
Good work everyone

Hi AL,

I'm glad to see that you are doing many experiments with the PatternSelArray node.

I hope to find some free time in next few weeks to rewrite my (lost) boolean utility nodes for PointArray.

Best,

Hello Al,

I'm testing also at the moment - here is an update of the structure:-)




I hope we will find a better solution for Fillet and blend some day!

Have a nice evening
Karsten

Hi Al.

I am alway struck by how vast & sparse your wiring diagrams;
you must have one gigantic monitor (or possibly 2) :)
Anyway I find it very instructive to analyse your method.

So keep them coming...

Thank you....& I am glad to hear that you are OK,
but sorry to hear of the devastation to your town & community.

Karsten,
Thank you also for your new .nod file.
I have not had a chance to look at it yet.

FYI, while reworking Al's .nod file I discovered that your
brilliant Concat2 node has a small bug.
Concatenating objects, does not allow them to be joined.
The ouput dot is green rather than yellow.
I was forced to use Max's original Concat node which is fine,
but I thought you may like to know.

I have attached my version of Al's file below
(it of course, requires Al's .3dm file as well)

<< you must have one gigantic monitor (or possibly 2)
In general today a Latop + a Monitor! ;)
As Node's windows is a "flying windows" you can imagine how comfortable that is! :)

Hello James,

thanks for reporting the bug. Is it right, that the bug comes up, when loading a node-file from disk and try to connect or rewire the output? In a continous session it seems, that all works fine?!
Anyway -I've made some changes and now i'm testing the node. If the result is positive, I will post an update.

Have a nice day
Karsten
p.s.: As mentioned - I didn't understand the functions of the nodeeditor at all.

Hi Karsten,

>>Is it right, that the bug comes up, when loading a node-file from disk and try to connect or rewire the output?<<

I'm not sure. I could not repeat the error. I opened the .nod file and replaced concat with concat2 and it worked fine. Weird?>>Anyway -I've made some changes and now i'm testing the node. If the result is positive, I will post an update.<<

Great! What about offset node you mentioned earlier?

I appreciate all your nodes.

-James

Hi Friends
You're right , James ... I'm pretty messy....
I hope in the future to improve ...
for the rest....... , thanks of your words and closeness

Karsten I saw your new definition
This weekend I will try to deepen
and see if there is news ... Meanwhile, thanks
Continuing with the tests of fillet on the tapes, which finally
I managed to do
I noticed a strange behavior ..
even if with the Nod. file save the file. 3dm
void in which I am working
and reopen all, the definition made before
no longer has the fillet made ...
This happens even if the only definition Node save,
and I open a new session and load the file Nod
Why.......
As regards Blend, between the two tapes ,
I tried, everything seemed ok , but ultimately without avail
I think there is still work to make
stable these two important features.

Hello James, Hello Al,

@James: The problem is caused by the onAdded function in the Concat2 node. Reloading a nodefile with a Concat2 node, causes a setup of the output to the default type numarray. It seems that onAdded is responsible for creating new nodes and also for recreation from disk. If a wire exist in the nodefile, the nodeeditor seems not to check it again. But If you delete the wire a reconnection isn't possible for pointarray and Objectlists. I hope the workaround in the node will do the job.

@Al: Could you please post the problematic files with the Fillet node - Fillet is very experimental and I have to investigate where the problem is. I will have a look at it in the next week.

A nice weekend to all
Karsten

Hi Karsten
here is the test file of fillet
I hope you will serve to understand the problem
Have a nice weekend

Hello Al,

the problems seems to come up with the v.0.85. The edge names will be stored in the node file, but only the first element/edge name will be read back. I found a workaround by placing a leading number, so the node editor don't suppress the reading of the complete array of edge names. Please test the version in the attachements.

Have a nice weekend
Karsten
