Construct domain isn't working as needed

250923_Attractor point_forum-2.gh (26.6 KB)

Hi everyone. I am trying to recreate this particular vase shape and to write a script in grasshopper. So far so good but I am having some issues with the “construct domain” values as you can see. Also I really dont want my attractor curve to push away any of the points - ( I only want the attractor curve to attract so to pull the points towards the curve from my existing extruded geometry. Could you please help me fix my script - it is taking me too long already trying to figure it out :(.. thanks in advance!

How much time do you think it should take? Maybe try a different algorithm?

Let someone else do the work for you.

Here’s a start. I haven’t figured out how to do the pipes.

@martinsiegrist @Joseph_Oster No need to be this passive aggressive on such forum. It’s not reddit here to spread hate. I have not even asked to do anything ”for me” only asked if ”someone could help me fix my script - which doesn’t specifically mean to do it for me but to maybe to show me a right direction. I would assume you know better taking into account your long history here on this forum.

Going back to your question:

Yes I was stuck with this for quite a long time. It is an example from “Advanced 3D Printing with Grasshopper®: Clay and FDM” book which I bought 1.5 year ago. Since in the book it is not explained exactly how to recreate each script but there is a vague explanation of the idea behind it, I couldn’t get the desired result just right ever since :slight_smile:

I will leave this thread here with the solution linked to your passive aggresive comment @martinsiegrist

Have a great day!

It was meant as a joke.

I cleaned up your definition a bit. I think I would first modify the curves and then add ‘effects’ by dispatching control points and moving inwards / outwards and maybe also offset every other curve inwards or outwards.

Anyway, if you want to modify contours, the overall shape could be done like this:

I used an attractor point instead of a curve. All inputs are internalised.

The file now contains a concept to make wiggly curves

I was surprised that @Filip_Rekowski1 marked your joke as the solution. :rofl:

Added Flip Matrix to make the interpolated curves vertical:

Still a long way from this, in several respects:

As I said before, a different algorithm is advised, but I don’t work for actively aggressive newbies,
