Hi all, I hope you’re doing well. This might be a foolish question, but I have a question about my project. I’m trying to design a lamp using Grasshopper, and it starts with a polygon instead of a circle. However, I’m facing some challenges with the modeling process. I would like to know how to cre…

lamp_2024Nov8b Edited v1 solid.gh (239.9 KB) To make it solid.

[image] Quan Li: No plugin needed. [missing] “Open Brep”?

Added a Graph Mapper and group for the pipes, which now bury into the sides at top and bottom using the SUnion embossing method. [lamp_2024Nov10a] lamp_2024Nov10a.gh (41.0 KB) The SDiff engraving method breaks unless you reverse the vector (DePlane ‘Y’) that moves points to “bury” the IntCrv. […

This is a polysurface loft again. It creates a series of BiArcs on the curve divisions around the loft curves, and joins them into new loft curves to create the ripple effect. [image] I aligned the curve seams after rotation to keep the ripples more vertical like the original photo. This is done …

Yup, that is a familiar shape - although the sides look a bit too thick. I don’t have the hetetopteta plugin but I’ve seen it before. If I can get it to work I’ll see about substituting Genepools for the Graphmappers.

[IMG_20241112_080727] Prints ok apart from the bits at the bottom where the loft self intersects. No idea how to prevent that!

I got distracted on a tangent a few weeks ago and didn’t post my last version, which adds a lime green group (now labeled “pipes”), another graph mapper (:question:), and a value list switch (‘MODE’ in cyan group) between ‘Emboss (SUnion)’ and 'Engrave (SDiff), to make its easy to change between the…
