Hi,
I want to get a specific section for a catenry vault, below you can see the actual state(green) with the desired result(red Curve),also the defitnin. I am not sure if it is possible orit makes sense in structural aspects.
Mayeb someone could help me out.
Thanks in advace!

The peak of this roof is a Catenary curve but the station curves at each point are not (though I suppose they could be too?).
This is a better implementation, using intersecting planes instead of dividing all three curves.
Hi @Joseph_Oster,
thanks for having a look.
I tried also lofting through 3 catenary curves, I am not sure if this is a common way or statically usefull.
Also I would like to know how the manage it from mesh relaxation.
This is a close approximation (white surface) using catenary curves in both directions. Manually adjusted using eleven sliders with a difference measurement displayed in an adjacent panel. Maybe Kangaroo can replace that bank of sllders?
