Testing data flow
- [Instructor] In the last video, we did a little bit of cleanup and organization, going through our components and making sure we are previewing the correct ones, as well as doing a little bit of color coding for some of our groups. At this stage, it's a good idea to backtrack a little bit and test out our data flow, make sure things are being controlled and relating to one another in the way that we're expecting. So let's zoom out here and go all the way back to the beginning. And I want to focus on these two steps of our algorithm where we are generating the 2D Voronoi pattern and then adjusting inputs for some of the parameters. So up until now, we've mostly been using this static cell pattern as our geometry input. And let's zoom out a little bit in Rhino so we can see kind of everything all at once. So this because we can use this list item and the slider here to select different individual cells to feed through our definition, and that's great. We've also got this dynamic cell…
