Human UI Happy Hour

[@gaetanochristianruvio1536]

Dear Andrew, thanks for all. Would be really useful and very interesting, how to customize through xaml and what ideas to integrate in the Human UI window. I see there are other such requests in the forum as well. Do you think it might be something to consider? Thank you

XAML support is quite limited. You can add anything you can describe with XAML, but you cannot retrieve its value or drive it in any meaningful way with Grasshopper - so you wind up with merely dumb, static content.

@@AndrewHeumann Yes, the goal was only to customize in a more professional way (like Nbbj graphics interfaces), the graphic layout of the Human UI window, and how to do it through xaml.

@@gaetanochristianruvio1536 Yes, this is doable, but not really with XAML. I'll see if I can do a more advanced tutorial at some point walking thru the creation of a more advanced UI.

@@AndrewHeumann This is great news to hear, thanks Andrew.

Hi Andrew, any plans for HU v2 for Mac? Or can you suggest an alternative for a time being? Thank you

Hi Andrew, thanks for the great tutorial. I'm trying to do an Human UI for a Script, where Users can get a list of points out of an Polyline. Is there any possibility to create a button to do a "select one curve" command? Plus: As soon as i pressed a button once, the value will stay "True". Can i set it back to "False"?

Has anyone successfully translated the Sunlight Hours mesh color (from Lady Bug) result into the HUD?

This does become a bit of a hypar.io demo, and some wise words are spoken from 1:19 forward: I think one of the hardest things about doing genuine detailed work in Grasshopper is that you run into this problem that the script got too complicated. It got too big, and that only one person knows how to work with it. Our vision (with Hypar) is that it should be much easier to decompose these systems into encapsulated logic where everyone is responsible for a system or set of systems, and it should be easy to get all of these systems to talk to each other. ... BINGO, Mr. Heumann!

Daniel Depoe that's not a problem mate, that's job security

Hey Andrew, I am currently very curious how you can create dashed borders and put put shapes or 3D objects in them, like seen here -> imgur.com/3ruzJRp -> is this done with xaml, with a background image, or have I just missed some options to do that within GH? thx!

So that dashboard was actually *pre* human-ui - On the right, the interface is a custom WPF app built in XAML, and on the left I'm using Human's Render Mesh to Screen and Render Text To Screen to draw the transparent floating dashboard.
