Hi
I can do this proces quite easy in Rhino, and I have tried in many ways to do the same in Grashopper.
In Rhino:
5 points + line segments from point to point + control point curve :
- from point 1 - to midpoint line segment
- to point 2 - to midpoint line segment
- to point 3 - to midpoint line segment
- to point 4 - to midpoint line segment
- to point 5 - to midpoint line segment
- to point 1 again, and close the curve.
I can then select point 1-5 (the “corner” points in the polygon)
and edit their weight and thus create very nice shapes inside the polygon,
that I can adjust via Edit Weight slider in Rhino.
Its a fairly simple process in Rhino
All control points weight 1:
midpoints weight 1 - Corner points weight 10 :
Midpoints weight 1 - Corner points weight 0.4 :
…
But how to define the same process in Grasshopper ?? Wow, thats not as easy as I thought.
I have tried many different approaches, and there are initially two things that I cant get to work.
I guess I am missing out on some fundamental stuff. Please help.
1: How to assign the “corner” points (point 1-5) AND the midpoints - to the controlpoint curve, in such a way , that a single curve is created, identical to the one I made in Rhino ?
2: How to adjust the weight on only control points 1-5 (the “corners”), and leave the midpoints to weight 1 ?
Please have a look at attached files - I have specified notes and questions in the Rhino file, so you can have a better visual overlook of the concept.
