Linkage with Kangaroo: Test

[anon39580149]

Hi @DanielPiker

Linkage works pretty well, i recreate this and i am sure you can make it better

Strandbeest linkage help

I use group points than assign a goal to each group, maybe this can be done by a single component.

Hi @anon39580149

This can also be done with just Length and Anchor:

Jansen's linkage

Indeed, it’s one of the standard examples - it’s just length constraints and anchors. [image] strandbeest_simple.gh (12.0 KB) It’s certainly also possible with Bongo now too though. I’m sure Luc or Joshua can give an example.

Help getting geometry to follow animated strandbeest grasshopper lines

You can create a frame from the line segment and orient geometry using this like so: strandbeest_orientgeometry.gh (16.8 KB) (Here I’ve created the geometry from the lines so the order matches automatically, but if you want to make it some other way in Rhino, you need to make sure to reference it in the same order as the line segments)

Great, thanks @DanielPiker
I will test more complex shapes

If i use Grab in your simple example , how to prevent points from moving in the z axis?

UPDATE:

[DanielPiker]

You can use AnchorXYZ to prevent movement of a point in some axes. So here you’d set X & Y false and Z true

Thanks, i choose OnPlane because of plane input which more useful in the space.
I hope you add an option to limit point movement in all directions by distance ,if this is not already available
