How can I move the ovals higher so that each oval starts from a point along the vertical line like a feather?
Or is there a better way of achieving this cause I basically want to make radial lines from the eye of the feather to start of the stem parametrically without any plugins

Could you please explain the logic behind this? I don’t understand how you did this?

Let me try ChatGPT…

This Grasshopper definition appears to generate a smooth, symmetric curve derived from an input base curve. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of the logic:

1. Input Curve & Parameter Sampling

  • The definition starts with a Curve input component.
  • The Steps slider (35) determines how many points will be sampled along the curve.
  • A Range component generates parameter values along the curve domain.
  • The Cull Index component removes the first point from the range (index 0).

2. Evaluation and Transformation

  • The Evaluate Curve component samples points along the curve.
  • A Line SDL (Start-Direction-Length) is generated at each point along a vector direction.
  • A Rotate Axis component rotates these lines by a computed angle (using a negative value and Pi).

3. Blending & Mirror Operations

  • Two curves are generated with a Blend Curve component, using adjustable Bulge A and Bulge B values to control the smoothness.
  • A Mirror component ensures symmetry by reflecting the generated geometry.

4. Final Reconstruction

  • A Rebuild Curve component ensures the final curve is smooth by controlling its degree (5) and point count (6).

This definition is useful for generating an aesthetically controlled smooth curve influenced by an initial guiding curve, commonly used in architectural and parametric modeling applications. Let me know if you need a more detailed explanation of a specific part.

I want to pipe this but it seems to just pipe certain pieces. I tried to flatten it but I don’t understand why it isn’t working?
