Something like this in Grasshopper? (Waffle structure follows curves)

[Joseph_Oster]

I got something that is close… Enough to see some obvious flaws. The subtle flaws are harder to find.

This became intensely complicated Not a beginner project at all. It takes more than a minute after opening the file to see code and geometry.

Some notes:

1. I used two clusters. Rib that thickens transverse and lengthwise “ribs” and cBranch that culls the first and last branches of data trees. It has an ‘R’ output that returns the culled branches so they can be merged later. For several reasons, it seemed reasonable to avoid notching the first and last ribs in both directions.

2. The color clusters at the far right can show the merged ribs or not, depending on how they are wired. If not, there are two orange groups that can reveal the culled ribs.

Much can be said about this project but it’s late so I’ll just post the code.

P.S. This version shows the culled ribs uncolored by the clusters (GH default color).
