Mani - There are a couple of things working against you here. First, is the standard flat data structure that Grasshopper has. If you want to be able to change the number of rows and columns in the ceiling, the definintion needs to operate on each individual row and column. This requires a second level of data on the objects that we cannot yet store. This limitation results in definitions that start to look like yours, a hardcoded set of inputs. This makes it hard to add or subtract rows.
Another problem is one of interface. I see you are running sliders for each point in the cieling. If you were to have a variable number of rows and columns, you would laos need to have a variable number of sliders. This is not something Grasshopper can do. It seems to me that a spreadsheet interface would be best. I wonder if a .NET component that reads out of excel would solve this? I bet it would. Has anyone been able to get a .NET component to read excel? - Scott On Dec 4, 2:27 pm, mani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Scott > > Well it's not the complication that is the problem but the > efficienciency.
