Hi Barry,
I cannot say if "feedback" is a problem, but note that many months ago, near the beginning of NodeEditor,
I read a post in Grasshopper, of a way to do "feedback," wiring,
which as far as I know, is not normally possible...
Back then, I think I posted a brief sentence about it...

ps: General information: The barry.js file goes in the extensions folder of nodeeditor.

Hi all.
My little contribution in the NodeEditor.
Added: Arc3pt, ArcCenter, Circle3pt, CircleDiameter, Ellipse3pt, EllipseCenter.
Allowed: node - test, and me to criticize :)
Vladimir.

Hi Vladimir

Your node contributions are great & long overdue.

It is hard to see how they could be improved upon,
except maybe compiling them into meta-nodes with RMB sub-options.
Also it would be a real improvement if arcCenter node emulated the tool's function
of having "start point" & "angle" options"




Nevertheless, as they are, they will be extremely useful,
so thank you

James

PS one thing you should probably consider is putting them under
their own menu heading "Curves2" below the line.

It has been agreed practice that Max's nodes are sacrosanct,
& extension node are kept separate.

About collision :nothing arrives! (collision node is not yet red ! :)

Must i "name" each object ? These can be volumes ?

When you say put Barry.js inside nodes\extensions it's inside or outside
...\ui\nodeeditor\nodes\extensions\libs ?

Under extensions, same place construct2.js is located.

By the way, while playing with the stock Construct/intersect node, with a circle and a rectangle, the stock intersect node does not yield the same
results as the MoI intersect script.

Hum hum done but nothing arrives!
I have 2 closed curves each named with a different name. Overlaped on the same plane.

What collision? Take your or the Ralph Collision ?

And after : select the 2 forms then "Run" ? or ...



Ps How reset a Node(s ? Stop then Run ? or...

How erase a node ? Select it then remove, then reload or...

Hello Vladimir,

that's good News. I haven't the time to test your new nodes, but I'm glad to hear about new contributions!

Thank you very much for sharing!

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Vlad, i tested your's new node
it's work perfectly
Many thanks ,Bravo...

Hi Brian,
I did a Google search and found grasshopper as a plugin called Hoopsnake that allows feedback.
This is the link http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/hoopsnake.
Perhaps Max or Karsten will have a look and see if it's possible to create something similar.
Cheers
Barry

Hi Barry,
Yes, hoopsnake. I wonder if nodeeditor has "feedback" detection code?

There is also a Grasshopper way to feedback to (say multiple) sliders, to increase sliders, potentially up to their maximum,
written by the author of grasshopper.
I'll post the link tonight.
Maybe sliders could have range multipliers controlled by the bounding box(s)...(?)

Hello Barry,
yep! Thats exectly what I thought. Possible to make global container to place results and read them in a next iteration back. Ralf - thanks for the contribution - has used something similar in the stream node - only problem - more than one of this node.
I need to have a deeper look - next days.

A nice weekend to all
Karsten

The section Learn at this link is some frightening! :)
http://www.grasshopper3d.com

And I don't speak about the documentation Online of the grasshopper components! ;)
http://rhino.github.io/#System

So these (free) PDF books will be our nightstand books next years! :D

<<<< Ralf - thanks for the contribution - has used something similar in the stream node - only problem - more than one of this node.

Yes - thats right i also did a memory extension which works good .... until you add a second one..

For me there is the end of my understanding of js and the system.....

But there is still Karsten :-)

For Max: last version of the FrenchStrings.txt
include the nodes of Vladimir :)

Hello Brian,

<<<Yes, hoopsnake. I wonder if nodeeditor has "feedback" detection code?>>>

I think that's a general problem - no special code is needed. The nodeeditor needs startpoints/nodes to start the calculation from an independent node. In a closed loop we need a intial startpoint and initial value(chicken-egg-problem). At a minimum we need an independent node that defines the step in to the loop and gives the initial value. I think it's possible to solve.

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hello Ralf,

thanks for sharing. I have to study your nodes now.

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi All,
while searching for Hoopsnake came across these video's
