Hello everyone,
I’ve recently started learning grasshopper and python. I created a simple model that consists of frames with a pitched top and purlins. However, I have a problem with writing a script in Python that could enable me to have a free number of purlins. I create purlins by lofting a surface through a group of lines generated by dividing my frames with points.
I don’t know how to connect two corresponding groups of points together (with the same index) if my number of points is a variable. For now, I use if…elif to have 3 different options: for 4, 5 and 6 purlins:
I hope to be able to do it more automatically.
I attach the file, the script I have a problem with is called " Purlins in 2D’. Thank you for your help. If you have any other tips how to improve the model I would be very grateful. Starting out in python and grasshopper, most of the times I feel like I’m taking a shot in the dark.
