How do I replicate this tree like Structure in my model?

[Nicholas_Wong]

Hi all, I have been trying to replicate this tree support structure that my 3D printer generated from printing this structure. Any thoughts on how to do it using grasshopper so I can randomize the tree support structure across the form?

Somehow create the line work and then use multipipe with z height depending radii…

would you be able to show me an example?

Use the search function…

There are a ton of examples. This is a good one:

How can i control node diameter at specific points with multipipe?

[image] Nice model! To set node sizes at specific points, you need to input a flat list of points, and a matching flat list of sizes, like this: multipipe_sizes.gh (60.0 KB) (you do not need to set a size for every node of the curve network - if you set sizes only at some, it will interpolate those values)
