Pufferfish twisted box and UV directions

[Alimzhan_Oteuil]

Hi everyone! I am having some troubles with morphing an element into a twisted box created by pufferfish. The issue is that given a certain geometry (photo 1), I want to morph an element into the boundary twisted boxes in a certain orientation, but the morphing was somewhat random. I thought it had to do with the orientation of the surfaces that were used to create the twisted boxes, so I aligned them into the needed orientation (see .gh definition). However, the problem seems to be that the ‘Construct Twisted Box’ component changes the UV orientation that I made and the morphed geometry is still not aligned in the way I need it to (photo 2). Is there a way to solve this issue? I haven’t found any similar issue on forums and not sure how to proceed.

The issue comes from the order of vertices that make up the twisted box. To solve this you can reorder points using a polar coordinate system before moving them up by your desired height and feeding the 8 points into “Construct Twisted Box”. If the unified orientation is wrong, I believe you can just shift the list of vertices.

Yep, that worked exactly as I needed to! Thank you very much, Colin!
