Hi, hoping someone can help, I have this tower design with an outer facade that conically tapers along a helix. I have attempted through step by step iterations to work out how to turn the surface into a series of equally sized (ish) panels. I got so far and then the tapering of the shape affected the radius of the surface which required the angle of the panels to change. From the uploaded files (hopefully a rhino and grasshopper file) you can see the mess that happens with the ‘panels’ near the top of the tower.
Thanks for getting back quickly, I still ahve the issue at the top where the smaller radius forces to panels to rotate differently is their anyway to adjust panel size/rotation as it goes upwards?
Oh. Two threads, same topic, same person, subtle difference…? The little details I worked out in the other thread, like the ability to change the Arc tangent angle, don’t apply here? The objectives in that thread were clearer than this one. What a pity.
not sure if this will help, the panels are pretty easy to do, depends on the approach, i am not sure if you needed gaps between them, that would be easy to do also,
the versions i made has an option to change the curvature of the profile, you could also attach this to a range and this create less or more curved profiles during the overall sweep / lofted sections
