Hello!
I have a question about the 3DGS plugin for modeling filigree structures.
Various research projects use graphic statics methods when designing pavilions or modular complexes. They use bent laminated wood panels that are embedded in concrete cast assemblies through steel rods.
I tried modeling similar bent panels inside a polyhedral structure with the F3D Bended tool (default node)
But when you change the lines in a node, the construction is not rebuilt because the lines from the point are oriented incorrectly, which are later converted to vectors and used to generate the normals of the faces.
You need to have lines on “all sides” of the node for the forces to counteract each other, but then how do you make the design more universal so that these shapes with these curved surfaces can be constructed for any nodes (kind of like pulling a subd skeleton over any curves)?
I may be missing something and misunderstanding something…It is possible that such bent surfaces can be built differently and more universally, but I don’t know about that either.
