Kangaroo Beginner Inflatable

Hi @DanielPiker

I’m an architecture student at the Bartlett, and I’m trying to design an inflatable roof for my structure held up by scaffolding. I’m very new to Grasshopper and Kangaroo, but it would be really great if you could help me with ways of approaching the design. Attached is the image of the inflatable roof’s placement and the way I’d like to design it from an Urban Radicals reference. I’ve looked into your tutorials and downloaded the Inflation.gh you provide on your website, but I’m not sure how to approach it just yet.

Thanks so much for your help in advance.

All the best,

Laura

This could be basic starter.
Generate basic mesh to get sew points eg. wbMeshThicken. Then refine it > expand it > refine again.
