I’m new to working with Grasshopper and can’t find the best way to extract the information I need parametrically.
I’m building a reciprocal tower made of bamboo.
I intend to find a row of intersection points and use them as an after as the start and endpoints to make a pipe that will work as a bamboo beam for the restructure.
My question:
I’ve tried to use the Curve / Curve to find this intersection, but it just gave me the first row of intersection points. How can I find the others? *ps: the points in the screenshot I found them manually in Rhino.
After finding these points how can I connect them using a shift list or something similar to easily cross some beams with line + pipe connecting these points?
The images for reference are attached.
The gs and rhino files too.
I want to say thank you guys in advance for helping me out with this doubt.
I’m not sure about what you want? There is a lot of code in this file! The Rhino file wasn’t useful to me so I recommend ignoring it.
I used a brute force approach to get the piped polygons shown in colors (one per branch). The key to getting Curve | Curve intersections to work is often grafting one of the inputs.
I think I’ve attached the not clean code. sending it again here.
I think my explanation got a little confusing. I would like to find these intersection points to connect them in a pattern that will produce lines crossing internally the tower like this:
Oh, sure, your first image showed the lines in red.
Why would I want to ignore what I’ve already done Looks to me like using the points I used for piped polylines a little differently would work? Your one-based point labels are not helpful though…
I didn’t do the half lap intersections of pipes at right angles to each other on each layer, but that won’t be difficult, eh?
Thank you all for your helpful responses and suggestions. I really appreciate this support.
Sorry for the mess resending the code. I also understand your point about the one-based point labels. I tested the version you sent and seems to be working perfectly. Now i understand better how to work shift paths.
