Knit Pattern Mesh Pipe Issue

Grasshopper
1

Hi there,

I thought it would be interesting to try modeling a knitted structure in GH but I’m running into an issue when using Mesh Pipe on the guide curves that I generate and it completely misses some of them. I’ve tried to rebuild the curves and cull any dup vertices, but it’s not working. Is this a bug or is there a better way of generating the pipes to simulate the yarn thread? …also I’m using mesh pipe because I’ve found it requires the least computation time (1-2 minutes), but It’d be useful to know if there’s another way to get the same outcome!

Thanks for any assistance with this!

Using polylines as the curve input instead of nurbs works way better. Thanks for the assist - Help finding post about Stitching/knitting/weaving

There are a few curves still failing to mesh pipe… :thinking:
