Sweep 1 through 3D pline all broken :( / trying to pipe w/ custom section

Hi people,

I am struggling with this so bad. I am trying to do a pipe of this pline, but it is not a single brep, it is broken in couple of the kinks. I don’t know if it is the problem of the planes or what. I am using pufferfish for that reason, but still cannot achieve a unify pipe. The is also panelling tools in the definition.

Pls, help me :frowning:

Thank you all in advance

I like to understand why either.
But for the time being, maybe you can use the sweep command from Flexibility instead.

It seems to work if there is just one section.

It could be that twist is not allowed for sweep.

It works with Loft

Hello,

Thank you for your reply!

I am working on a project where my boss asked me if i was capable of doing this all in GH. I have to design a trail with some weaving pattern that gets more intricate on top. Until now, I showed the structure with the same diameter and using multipipe. However, this structure has to change its section proportions along z direction and it has to have a “trapezoid” section, not a round one - unfortunately. So, this is my challenge.

Here you can find a preview of the work. As you can see, I have different modules, green ones are the constant along the trail, red ones are only the ones to finish the trail. This is the current status of the design.

He wants the project to look more like this.


In this last image, you can see that pipe section is not circular and it becomes thinner on top.

Hope that this explanation helps you to better understand the problem.

Thank you so much again!
