Will really appreciate some tips n’ tricks with multipipe. :beers: :slightly_smiling_face: I’m having trouble controlling it. here’s sample file: subD_settings_not working.gh (18.9 KB) This version is similar to previous thread focused on nurbs polysrf and fillets, but instead this next experime…

Maybe this can help. [image] Multipipe gives sharp spikes Grasshopper Hi Quan Li I’ll try and clarify what’s happening by illustrating a single node with no offsets. The distance of each ‘inside elbow’ point from its node has to vary with the angle between the adjacent …

Yes, that kinda helped me understand it more. :slightly_smiling_face: :beers: Oh I see I should probably read that whole thread :sweat_smile: :coffee:

Depending on how much you’re planning on manipulating the result manually after the multipiping, creating mesh pipes of each curve / polyline and then shrinkwrapping the mesh pipes might be an alternative approach…

[image] Martin Siegrist: creating mesh pipes of each curve / polyline and then shrinkwrapping the mesh pipes That’s a really good point. It might lead to that. I hope GH supports shrinkwrap :slightly_smiling_face:

How do I apply this to curves though … [image] Multipipe gives sharp spikes Grasshopper Try to solve the Multipipe spikes v2.gh (1.1 MB) Solved this problem by eliminating the spikes in the base mesh. [image]

[image] Martin Siegrist: I’m using this script to create mesh pipes. interesting, so do I worry about the intersections, or do I just shrinkwrap it :sweat_smile: [image]

:open_mouth: :star_struck: :beers: [image] Rhino 8 ShrinkWrap component [image] looking forward to smoothing this out some and converting back to subD :sweat_smile: this is so cool :exploding_head: [image] mesh pipes w shrinkwrap in grasshopper :star_struck: :beers: huge props …

[image] CAD CAM CNC: looking forward to smoothing this out some and converting back to subD :sweat_smile: In theory you can Quad Remesh the result but I’m not sure if that leads to a nice SubD… This approach with Mesh Pipes and Shrinkwrap is more of a quick approach that leads to a similar s…

[image] Martin Siegrist: In theory you can Quad Remesh the result but I’m not sure if that leads to a nice SubD… I believe it’s possible it can work well. I’m confident I could do it manually from here in Rhino commands. If GH is slightly different result I’m sure it can get better. I hope…

I’m using this script to create mesh pipes.
