Hello
it is always better to also give the reference of the original paper.

But I am quite sure @DanielPiker already gave a way to do what is described there.
Surely there

About PQ Mesh, conjugate curvature network

First to try and summarise the main advantages of torsion-free nodes/beam layouts- Say we have some curved surface which we want to build as a structure of steel beams. One geometrically easy way to do this is to simply extrude the grid lines all in a vertical direction: [image] This keeps the beams planar, and they intersect in a single line at each node, which can be simple to fabricate. However, we might need the beams to be oriented more perpendicular to the surface, especially if we h…
