Grasshopper Facade detail different shape

[Margaret_R_Miller]

Help! I am new to Grasshopper and I am trying to make a facade for one of my classes. I currently have the pattern I would like but I can only make the shape a circle and I want the circle to look more like a fishscale. Is there a way in Grasshopper to modify the shape of the circle into a fishscale. It’s confusing because a plane is involved and I can’t make the surface I have created into that plane. I have attached an image to show what I have currently. The top left image is the shape I am trying to make.

you can use the Orient component to orient your fish-scale shaped surface into destination planes which -I assume- might be the ones I see in your screenshot?

you won’t get much help without posting a GH file… this tells you how to internalize GH geometries:

Use the plane to make the surface (or fish scale).

Hi there! How would I do that? I am sorry this is my second time using grasshopper and I am having some difficulties. Thank you for helping!

Hi there! To post the GH file do I just attach the saved version of what I have? I think I have uploaded the file!
