Help in Tensile architecture

[phill.valsamos (Phillip Valsamos)]

Hello, i am trying to create tensile constructions with grasshopper and, especially, kangaroo plugin, like frei otto’ s work. I created this file that i have some surfaces as input, and some points on them to lift. Despite the grasshopper works good, every time in one of the surfaces the program can;t read properly one point (one of the 4 edges of the specific surface). I checked all the point lists etc. but i can’t find the glitch.

Edit: I realised that the problem, perhaps, is the fact that mesh corner component fails to take the right points. I am trying to adjust the angle to “filter“ the points i want but i can’t do it correctly so far.

thank you very much for the solution! it’s really helpful!

hey! those days I was experimenting in what form i want etc. I, also, create and circles that can go up and form an interesting surface. The problem is that i saw some fails in the smoothness of the surface. I tried to change some properties like subdivision etc. but i couldn’t fix it. is there a way to avoid those errors?

If you are pulling parts of the membrane to circular boundaries, it will help if the topology of the initial mesh is designed to fit this. Here’s a simple example for a single opening:
