I am new to Grasshopper and Kangaroo, and I am working on a project where I want to make a tensile surface that is anchored to random points that is on the z axis.
I am struggling to anchor the points I have to these points. I have tried everything within my limits, and here is my last resort.
I will attach a screen grab for my definition and my .gh file. Any help would be appreciated! tensile_structure_please_help.gh (15.3 KB)
You need to select points which exist as vertices of the mesh to anchor.
Anchoring a point in the middle of a face or edge will not affect the mesh at all.
You have the right idea with using ClosestPoint, but you need to get the closest mesh vertex to each of your points along the boundary, not the other way round as you had it.
Then you can use your points in space as target inputs to the anchor component (using Shortest List to make sure there is one target per point). Like this: tensile_structure_please_help.gh (14.7 KB)
