[Inquiry] Sweep1 just turns green on me :(

Help please :slight_smile:

I’m trying to rebuild this interesting infinite loop structure by Hung-Yin (see link for more info). My problems is when using Grasshopper, despite all my attempts- the Sweep1 modifier still won’t work, the output preview only appears as highlited “green” curves whereas when using Sweep1 via command, it works well (please see screenshots comparison).
I hope by the end of the day, I can shout Eureka!

Thanks for the help!

Infinite Loop by Hung-Yin

Post your file. From your screenshot it looks like you don;t have anything plugged into sweep.

Thanks, here’s the Rhino 5 file and gh. In this file, the most recent curves and profiles is found at the very bottom part.

By the way, just additional inquiry related- I mentioned above that my sweep1 via command line works well but to be honest, it’s been trial and error because it’s unpredictably twisting between profile transition . I appreciate if you can shed some light on that twisting issue as well. [screenshot attached]

update: I found something that worked- called ggSweepProfile, it’s from BullAnt by Geometrygym. Looks cool, but I won’t shout Eureka yet. I will use this for now, just to finish something today. Although I would still appreciate it if anybody can still help answer my questions above about why the standard GH Sweep 1 isn’t working in my case, also the twisting issue on sweep1 command. Many Thanks!

Awesome! I’m looking at my work above with only one pathetic Sweep1 loaded Lol :smile: and compared to yours… now this is how to use grasshopper . Thanks so much!

Can you also upload the Rhino file you’ve used. Thanks!

You don’t need it. The geometry is internalized.
