Map surface to surface

Grasshopper

Hello everyone,

Could someone please show me how to map a flat surface onto a complex surface?!

You can understand my problem in the GH file below. What I want to do is to map the curve onto the entire surface, not individual ones. I tried to reuinion either curves or surfaces, but it did not work. Please help me out!

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,

Anthony

Hello HS_Kim,

I would like to ask you for another favour. Could you please show me how to make a surface from the curves which are the result of Pull-curve?!

Thank you very much in advance!

Warm regards,

Anthony

Hello HS_Kim,

To be honest, I do not want to bother you this much. I have tried many ways to figure out the solution I wanted but I did not make it. That is why I am ambrashedly asking for your favour again and again. I hope this is my last question for this problem.

Please show me how to get rid of the redundant "Trimmed surface"s from 6 to 11 in the Panel. Those surfaces might cause me problem when using BrepIBrep to trim the louvers with the surface (from Cull-pattern). Or maybe there are something else causing the problem.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,

Anthony

I dont think you want to get rid of those “redundant” surfaces since they represent the leg of the cheetah? If you ‘graft’ the surfaces from Cull-Pattern you get the desired result (i believe).

To graft -> Rightclick on the Surface Component -> Graft

Hi Kim i was having a look at this definition and it shows that there were unrecognized objects named Relay, i tried to look at the screenshot of the definition but the missing parts were not labelled nor were there any symbols for reference ?

I am currently using Rhino 5, could this be because we are using different versions ?

could you please enlighten me as to what they are ?

images below to show you what i mean

Relay is a Gh1+R6 component. It doesn’t do anything besides pass data in a way that makes the wires look cleaner.
