See the attached file. The end goal of this script is to have bricks placed along a mobius strip with accurate proportions (I think I’ve accomplished that already in the file) and standard mortar joint thickness spacing (3/8” - haven’t tackled this yet).
My current questions are as such:
How do I get the brick breps to orient along mobius surface?
How do I get all the brick breps to space 3/8” apart from one another?
How do i get a running bond between brick rows?
How will I dial in the breps so there aren’t hits between them?
They should be bricks of the same size, so 7 5/8" L x 3 5/8" W x 2 1/4" H. The base brep I made in the file conforms to those dimensions.
I envision the overall mobius strip width being how one dials in the number of bricks. You also have further play with the 3/8” mortar joint spacing. Joints can be a little tighter or larger as needed.
But the standard brick unit should be a constant that doesn’t vary. All other conditions can vary.
Here is a way, not perfect but I am quite sure there is no perfect spacing for bricks as if the number is not the same on a ring, there is a place where 2 bricks are quite aligned.
Also a simplified definition for the brick. I must have done a centered brick in order to have some better alignment
