Scripts
Parametric Array 2.4
1 Comment        
Torabi Architect has released the latest version of its parametric modeling script. New features include:
Main interface
- Select Array node button in main interface allows you to pick the array object when the controller settings dialog is open.
- Right click function has been added to update buttons to update only selected objects in the scene.
- Controller library refreshes the list of compatible controllers as you switch between properties and controllers in main dialog.
- Show/hide incompatible controllers has been added to controller library.
Utilities
- You can now easily export the parametric array to Excel. Select the desired properties from the list, design the table structure and export.
Controllers
- Offset controller: this controller has been replaced with offsets setting in some other controllers such as linear and random pattern. You use other controllers as sub-controllers inside this controller to offset the array along its dimensions.
- Range controller: maps input values from a given input range to a new domain. You can estimate the input range automatically by pressing the “calculate input range” button.
- Pattern Controller: now you can connect an Excel table to a pattern controller. (Import excel file)
- Convert controller : interface of this controller has been improved. For example creating a vector from three scalar values is possible by selecting the related option.

This is a really handy script – closest thing to Rhino’s Grasshopper for 3DS Max that I’ve seen so far.
