Project curve to the mesh

Hi everybody!
I want to project curve to mesh with parametric slope 1:X.
It is easy to do it in civil, but i think it can be done in rhino+grasshopper
How can i do this?
I will be glad of any help

Hello
you question is not clear, do you speak of the slope of the projection or slope of the mesh.

If it is the projection use Project along

You have many ways to make the vectors

  • Use equation x=sin(angle) …
  • Use Point polar
  • Or use a vector say -Z then rotate it

Slope angle (radians) = Atan(Y/X)

I want to create this solid, so i need to project curve1 to mesh and result is curve2

Hello
it is more clear now. I think there was discussions on subject like that related to terrain

RhinoTerrain …

If you want a solid the subject is more complex if you want a solution that works in many configuration.
Offseting the curve and then moving it down seems the good way but the loft is not always good.

Grasshopper Offset fails :sweat_smile:

A good way could be to to things like here

Perhaps I miss something so a terrain guru can answer you.

I used plugin for grasshopper Bison | Food4Rhino,
and created mesh, but I couldnt split it or difference by other mesh
In result I need to convert this mesh to close brep and export to Tekla Structures.
But now I stopped at the stage split/difference :unamused:

Hello
here is a way, it is lot of trial and error as if something work the other is not working so I have to choose the reliable tools.
To make the volume I choose to :

  • extrude the main U shape (it must be a polyline).
  • make a cone with each corner of the curve
  • make an edge with each line

As brep boolean is not working for shapes that have so much common planes. I choose to convert everything to a mesh by using Dendro. And now I can do the split.

There are some plugin like Dendro (mandatory if you work a lot with meshes) and Nautilus (not mandatory juts used to heal the mesh)
