Elaborating on the tittle, I’ve created a file that generates the structure to withstand a roof from two irregular polylines. The file includes that code if anyone finds a more efficient way of creating the same (image 1
However now Im in the process of creating a “cover” for such structure. To simplify the geometry Im trying to generate triangular surfaces (3pts instead of more because the surface would become curved). My solution was to extract vertices from the polylines to then generate triangular planes, but I dont know how to automatize such process.
Its a pattern im not sure how to implement in the code…
Finally Id like to analyze the orientation and areas of such surfaces, to find out how much area points south. I know its a bit complex…Any help would be greatly appreaciated
WOW that’s seriously impressive, thank you so much, I have been breaking my brain for days haha
Again thank you so much
EDIT: @Jakinta is there a simple way of adding more consecutive polylines to create surfaces in between, without duplicating all the code? Im wondering if that would make the file faster, and just “selecting multiple” generates errors with the surfaces
Hhmm the series that I explained at the beginning applies for each “row”, so there would be 4 series of the explained pattern. I think i’ll just use 4 copies of your previous code to avoid surface errors.
Sort of on a similar line (dont know whether to create a new post), with the first “code” some of the surfaces appear to be generated inversely, which causes an error when I try to analyze the orientation of those surfaces as the normal vectors point downwards. Is there a way of resolving this issue? It affects the solar insolation calculation…
