LKL Maths-Art Seminar GEOMETRY: FROM SCULPTURES TO BUILDINGS at London Knowledge Lab

March 14, 2013 from 6pm to 7:30pm
An LKL Maths-Art Seminar by Niloy Mitra Thursday 14th March 2013, 6.00 - 7.30pmGEOMETRY: FROM SCULPTURES TO BUILDINGS Digital modeling by designers and engineers leads to the creation of huge archives of 3D models. There is a pressing need to develop algorithms and software tools which can help users to analyse, explore, organise, and synthesise such massive model collections. In this  talk, I will show some of our recent efforts in this direction, in terms of automated analysis of 3D…See More

"I have been using this software. It has some problems if the slice can't be "closed". I have output the data using an SVG output plugin and then edited the results in Inkscape. I have a number of results on my Flickr page"

Generative Components

There is a report in Building Design on the Smart Geometry Conference 2010, by Hugh Davies.

At the end he says Bentley are offering Generative components for free at www.Bentley.com/GetGC.

How much time would one need to invest to start to get results from it.
