Need HELP with a project in Grasshoper, please! urgent

I’m working on a project in Grasshopper (Rhino 7) that I will eventually build using MDF for the arches and surfaces, along with a thread. The project works similarly to a table hockey setup. I have already designed the arches with holes for the thread and modified them so they can be set inside a surface ( but it also should be done in grasshoper, not rhino )
Now, I need to develop a system in Grasshopper where a thread connects all the arches, ensuring they move in unison. Essentially, there are two parts to the mechanism:

  1. First Mechanism: This rotates the arches in the first row.
  2. Second Mechanism: A thread runs through all the arches (from each row) and connects at the center. When activated, it makes all the arches move simultaneously.

Initially, all the arches are in a fixed, neutral position. When you activate Mechanism 1, the arches in the first row rotate. Then Mechanism 2 - the connecting thread that runs through each arch - is activated, causing all the arches to move equally at the same time.








arcs - lofted.3dm (1.0 MB)
ARCS…gh (47.1 KB)

what’s wrong with the gh file you have supplied?
it looks like it’s already doing what you want, isn’t it?

Yes, but I need also to make these two mechanisms: 1. First Mechanism: This rotates the arches in the first row.
2. Second Mechanism: A thread runs through all the arches (from each row) and connects at the center. When activated, it makes all the arches move simultaneously.

So this project will work kind of like table hockey…
