Tabs on Louvers...Again!

[Joseph_Oster]

@Joseph_Oster

One thing that experience tells you (among many others!) is the benefit of using a base plane that all subsequent geometry is built on.

I frequently don’t follow my own advice on this matter but found a recent example where I did so:

Random Triangular pattern

Three more things… These issues are common to many GH models so I was aware of them, but set them aside for expediency. Orientation Manual settings for dependent geometry Branches of geometry (avoid Flatten!) Orientation The “base curve” for this model is a rectangle in the XZ plane. Several vectors are implied in that decision: horizontal (X), vertical (Z) and the Y axis for rotation. To handle other orientations the base plane must be generalized using Deconstruct Plane, though it can b…

Any plane can be used and the complex pattern of triangles will be created correctly relative to it.

I haven’t gone that far with your “louvers” but did clean up the code a bit and would prefer to use this version for reference: Parametric Wall_2024Feb5b.gh (31.4 KB)
