Hi all, I am trying to understand how do I go about creating this structure entirely in grasshopper. I understand I will need different control point curves at levels and loft them. I intend to make it in rafters so how can I construct the rafters such that I am able to get a diagram of how the raft…

[image] Dharmesh: entirely in grasshopper. Do you know how to make it in Rhino?

First look , bunch of Sweep 2 operations But it makes more sense to model this in Rhino , and use GH for details (roof pattern etc.)

This shape is “simple” if you first think of it as a untrimmed nurbs surface (4 edges): [3b409747-84f6-444c-b1d6-988af798a691] [0df92783-0f40-434e-860c-7dfb3b92af40] [image] Dharmesh: I intend to make it in rafters ok, so from the top view the red line should be parallel with the green on…

You made it look so simple. Thank You. Will try building one and post the script.

Spline_curves.3dm (3.3 MB) Couldn’t get the curves to close to create a surface. Any ideas?

Hi Dharmesh, You are quickly going to run into more complexity. If you can create very specific posts of individual questions it will be easier to help. . [image] dharmesh: how do I go about creating this structure entirely in grasshopper This is about as broad as it gets. What are the ult…

Using network surface (just an example you should make it more smooth yourself as you wish ) [image] Spline_curves.3dm (145.4 KB)

Hey thank you. You are right I will work over it and ask for specific inputs.

Hi Dharmesh,

You are quickly going to run into more complexity. If you can create very specific posts of individual questions it will be easier to help. .

This is about as broad as it gets. What are the ultimate goals? What are the inputs and variables?

The more complexity you add the more a hybrid approach will be recommended (smaller specific gh scripts)
