I am trying to create a sloped curving retaining wall that follows a landscape I am working with. I have tried a few methods, which dont seem to produce very clean results. In my file I have put the non sloping walls with my curve line for the slope running along the outside of my walls. The curve is the slope I am trying to get.
I have attempted to do this by offsetting the curves and lofting them and then splitting the meshes, however the result has not been clean and sometimes leave weird gaps etc. It would be very helpful if anyone would be able to let me know if there is a better way to do it or if there is a way to fix my attempt. This might be an easy problem but I have spent two days trying to do it so it would be a great help if someone knows how to do this well.
Im modelling directly into rhino, however if there is a way to do this in grasshopper that might also be useful. The curves are drawn on the exteriors of the walls. However I have separated them in this file to make it clearer. There is no particular reason that they are meshes I want sure on the best way to do it.
Not sure if this method would be much better or not. I only worked on the section now shown in green. If that’s closer to what you are after let me know and I’ll explain how I got here. The main issue with getting a nice smooth surface at the top of the wall is the curve you are using isn’t very smooth. Retaining walls copy-try-1.3dm (1.4 MB)
