Sadly, I don’t think something like this is possible with Grasshopper 1’s basic twisted boxes, though I will have to give it a little more thought. Grasshopper 2 will introduce much more flexibility to boxes:
The extraction of vertical edges should be definitely reworked, as it only works for semi vertical elements, and the approach is hard coded with list item. But as a quick proof of concept will do
Well done. But I think as a refinement, or improvement, we can work non-polygonally. That means of course though, starting from scratch so that you have something other than BReps.
Wow! Grasshopper 2, honestlt I had no idea about it, and the generated output from that example sounds promising! I think it’s basically what I am trying to achieve… I will try to download it in the package manager and see if I it solves my problem thank you!
Yeah if we had initial algorithm that produced these breps it would be a lot better. Because they need some work for sure. I have a bad feeling about these corners
Even if GH2 has these capabilities, it is smarter, and more efficient to approach this with a simpler method, which as added benefit of working in GH1!
Hi! The way I generated those breps was with a custom python script by dividing the geometry with v and y values and graph mappers to control them. You can see the file attached.
To generate it, I applied a basic negative offset in only xy to the original surface, if you bake the initial brep in the last file, and you explode it, you can have the original surface without any thickness. Maybe the starting point of all of this mess is the wrong direction of my initial steps :c
If you give me a little bit of time, I can propoerly formulate this within Grasshopper. Unfortunately, I do not know how to program, but you or someone else could translate that in afterward.
okay so it was made in rhino, got it. There is no mess there yet, just a small problem that i pointed out :DD I think Volker will give you a nice definition for that, if he has a lot of free time today
Well, I am not an expert in programming but I am working through it hehe, if it works as a reference, what I am trying to achieve is basically the generation of the center column of this project from this company PRESENTEDBY RETAIL SPACE Abu Dhabi - LAMÁQUINALAMÁQUINA for a school research project. I would really appreciate your help!
thank you!
