Parametric Deployable Scissor Structure using Kangaroo2

Hi @Noah6 It’s a nice paper. I remember I’d been meaning to make an example of this since I first saw it. The logic is given quite clearly in this figure: [image] So taking a mesh optimised for tangent incircles we can do this: [deploy_00001] incircle_scissorlinkage_deploy.gh (23.5 KB) edit - moved the mesh generation upstream of the transformations for efficiency: incircle_scissorlinkage_deploy2.gh (23.6 KB)

Here’s an example of applying that to a spherical dome:
