If you look at the original definition, the Variable Expression has 2 inputs each with 25 values and is outputting 625 values.
You can get this result with the current Expression component by grafting one of the inputs and flattening the output.
The results differ depending on if you graft the u input or the v input.
If you graft the v input and delete one of the profile curves (as suggested in the forum post you linked above) you get the same result as the original definition.
If you graft the u input and unselect the Closed loft option on the Loft component it works as well.
Many thanks for your reply. The concept of flatten/graft is new to me and will need to explore it more.
Why do we use series components model?
Ultimately I would like to thicken the surface in Rhino and export as stl however somehow I cannot select the objects in the Rhino window for thickening…
I dont know if you are familiar to the “bake” i GH (right click on the component that holds the srf and select “bake”)? But you could also thicken the srf in GH and then bake the result…
Thanks for this.
I have noticed that the “list item” before the “Interploate Curve” has the same output as that of the “series” element.
Why do we not connect the “series” element directly to “Interpolate Curve”
Hello
you certainly must read a tutorial on the basics of Grasshopper. Series makes a series a number, 0,1,2 … and it is used here to convert a long list of values a list of list of values (datatree). The other way to do that is by using
