[bigbankareus]

initial model grasshopper.gh (37.5 KB)

but i need to the the structure into a waffle structure where i can edit the thickness of the ribs (similar to this)

hi bigbankareus,

I would recommend you to try Bowerbird.

oberbichler/Bowerbird

it’s a very easy way to generate waffle structures like that.I think it can even handle arbitrary planes.

Yep. See the example files.

BTW here‘s the latest waffle thread, in the modified bowerbird example definition I upload, you can also find solid 3D model

Waffle issues

Ok, took a look at the files. Something really strange is Happening, I can’t explain. [waffle] This “trim with regions” Fails nearly everywhere, and how the bottom part gets trimmed and not the top part, I can’t explain. So I thought, il try it with “trim with breps”, but as soon I try to extrude or whatever with your curves, it’s invalid. In GH it’s not calledd invalid, but as soon I bake them, or try “trim with breps” It doesnt’ works. [waffle1] [waffl3] Tried it with 3 different method…
