Problem with network surface

Grasshopper
1

Hello all,
I am facing difficulties on a script the purpose of which is to create wireframes and panels given a network of points having different +z values. I sorted the points to get their correct orders, made lines and then the surfaces using network from surface component.

PROBLEMS FACED:

  1. The surfaces are curved at the ends . How do I make them straight and uniform? (image given for reference)
  2. How can I make them such that it works even when the points are random and not in some specific grid-like pattern . Maybe use the distance from center as the basis of how they are numbered?

Hi,

You are looking for Interpolate component instead of Polyline.

If you want straight panels, then you’d better Loft either U or V curves, with the Straight option.

If you somehow draw the curves directly, as long as you provide at least 2 curves in each direction, a surface should be created. There is no need for those curves to follow a grid.
