Need help creating Aqua Tower balconies with Graph Mapper

[Alexandra_Maria_Sand (Alexandra Maria Sandu)]

Hi everyone,
I’m doing a Grasshopper exercise for a course and I need some help. My professor asked us to recreate the Aqua Tower in Chicago, starting from a base shape that he gave us. I was able to divide the building into floors and create points along the perimeter of each floor.

Now, the next step is to use Graph Mapper to move or offset the perimeter lines, in order to create the balconies.

The problem is that I don’t really understand how to use Graph Mapper in this case. I think I have to use it to control the offset amount for each floor, but I’m not sure how to connect the values correctly or how to make the shapes look like the balconies of the Aqua Tower.

If someone has any suggestions or examples, it would really help me. Thank you very much!

any suggestions or examples,

I am sure someone will help, meanwhile: typically I stay away from plugins but in this tutorial about a plugin, what’s worth noting is that rather than deforming the floor slabs (which is a valid approach), you can start by generating the undulating base tower form prior to contouring it.
