Radiation Driven Facade Panels for Grasshopper

Here I reworked the RhinoScript from the previous post into a GH definition. I follows pretty much the same logic as the rhinoscript. The problem that I had with the rhinoscript was that I'd have to set up a loop in order to be able to modify the panel parameters in the runtime and that thing worked pretty slow. Here in the GH definition you can do that and see the immediate effect on the panels. As a note, if your skin consists of multiple panels in order to play with th settings you might want to disconnect the last VB component that generates surfaces and it leaves you with wire frame so it is not too slow on regeneration of the view (in this example I have 150 quads and it is ok). Unlike with the previous RhScript  here you need to have your Excel file open and if you opened it after you ran the GH deff just tweak some slider to regenerate.

  4. Hello,
    I'm Korean student majoring architecture now.
    Actually, I'm working on my office project, but I want to do something more regarding paneling the skin based on the radiaiton data.

    So I hope you to help me to do that. Could you send me those rhino and GH files to my e-mail, please?
