Hi Everyone:

This is the sixteenth DSS translation of sample files to be found on the opening window of the DSE (lite) standalone program.

CoordinateSystem.ByUniversalTransform.TranslationVectorAndSequence

This in the 2nd Transform file in the series of 3 and is entitled, CoordinateSystem.ByUniversalTransform.TranslationVectorAndSequence

CoordinateSystem.ByUniversalTransform.TranslationVectorAndSequence

Again, very similar to the previous file translation. Note that some of the properties of the Coordinate System , e.g. scale, rotation angle, rotation sequence, have identifier nodes linked to them in anticipation of how to adequately identify values that are in code block form.

CoordinateSystem.ByUniversalTransform.TranslationVectorAndSequence

Continuing on and translating with the  guaranteed properties of the coordinate system, one translates the graph nodes by creating a bounding box around them, then uses the menu that’s generated in the upper right hand corner of the box to complete the transformation.

For a detailed description of this operation go to  DSS-3 Node to Code, Code to Node on page 81 of the DesignScript Language manual.

CoordinateSystem.ByUniversalTransform.TranslationVectorAndSequence#16

Now one see’s how the translation interpreted the code block identifier nodes that were done on the coordinate system properties. Note the Variables. Now for some further editing.

By eliminating the Var#’s and substituting the identities of the nodes a more compact translation is achieved.

And with that, the files are available for download below.

Thanks for looking.
