Complete mapping from a surface to another one

Hello,

I’d like to reproduce an existing footbrigde for a course. The actual footbridge is pierced with lot of holes.

In my attempt to recreate this I drew a simple pattern and then did a mapping wich resulted In simply bending the pattern instead of warping it as I would like to.

Is there anyway I can do that ?

Thank you ! :smiley:

Maybe this?

And these look a lot more like rectangles on the bridge photo, not circles.

You need to make an untrimmed surface, there are different ways to do this, here is a simple (and non accurate) one:

these are indeed rectangles, I just used circle to test if it work great or not :grin:

Thank you so much !
I knew it has something to do with untrim surface, so I tried Untrim block but it didn’t work :sweat_smile:
I’ll try to get how you did that for the next time !

You need pattern like this; maybe with Kangaroo

This indeed looks like a relaxed mesh with Kangaroo or similar, which was then made thick. Good option, because it will give a shape in force equilibrium.

I think @anon39580149 has cracked the method here. :slight_smile:

Speaking of structure, this remember me of Gaudi hanging chains :smile:.
I didn’t knew about kangaroo i’ll check that !

Thanks for the tips !
