- [Josh] We're in the process of implementing our generative design model, and we've almost completed it. We just used a physics solver to optimize the structure supporting this roof canopy. And now we're going to set up some visualization so we can see it as architectural elements, in addition to the automation that we've already built down all the way to our physics solver. I've added a cluster that will allow us to thicken these linear elements into mesh objects. If you want to see how this is implemented you can hop into the cluster. Pretty simple, just setting some sides and a radius so that we can see things as solid elements rather than lines. The first thing we're going to do is get the geometry that's coming out of kangaroo, these linear elements. We can use the length of a list of elements matched up to the length of the list of the goals to split this list up into different things, so to get these points for these curves. Another way to do it that's a little easier and…
