I need help to recreate this facade :L

Hi guys
I am new to Grasshopper and am trying to recreate a facade similar to the one in the photo using grasshopper. But I can’t get any further and see no other option than to ask for help here.
I would appreciate help. Thank you very much




You didn’t post your GH code. GH file, not an image of your GH.

Sorry my mistake

Useless, in part because your geometry is not internalized (points) and in part because there are four sets of code in this file.

I have redefined the points and deleted the unnecessary code sets

The 3.5 MB R8 Rhino file appears to be empty :interrobang: That’s three strikes, I’m out! Good luck.

too bad
thanks anyway

I sincerely recommend something simple, like this:

P.S. Note that this has the same effect: reverse the Z input instead of X.

thanks a lot for your help. it looks a lot more structured and easier to understand than my file.
Thank you very much :smiley:

I have another question, is it possible to divide the horizontal sheets vertically so that I have each panel individually and can thus change their orientation. Thank you very much for your help

I guess you missed the point of my recommendation. Do whatever you have to do.

Thank you very much Joseph. That helps me a lot. My general goal was to rotate each horizontal row according to solar radiation, so I meant that I wanted to isolate the rows or the single end panels.
But thank you very much for helping me.

I have no idea how that would look? In general, your images illustrate more about what you want than your words (or your GH and Rhino files), so I’ll repeat the quote I posted two days ago:

A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved.

This is one possible interpretation of what you describe, but as you can see, the rotated panels intersect each other. Did you consider that :question: Or how you will deal with it :question:

Wow thank you :smiley:
We wanted to bake the optimized rotated panels and then connect them manually in Rhino, because that seemed the easiest and most feasible for us.
