Twisted Louvre Panels but between specified angles

gtm947 · August 3, 2022, 8:02am

Hi everyone,
It would be great to have your inputs on this.
I want to create a facade with louvers that comprise of 6 curves lofted, ,and between the angles 0 0 90 90 180 180. These are the angles to have the 90 90 angles curves should be able to be mapped to a curve so I can be able to control their continuity on the facade. I did a small algorithm but its mostly manual editing.

I did this using pufferfish and tween through curves to get the straight effect between lofts.

The red lines are the curves I used to get this effect, but over a large facade doing it manually is very time consuming.

These are the surfaces I need to translate this effect on. Overall strips are about 300 so its hard to do this manually.

Post your Rhino and Grasshopper files.

You appear to be using a cracked Rhino. I won’t be able to help you:

Could you confirm now if I have a legit rhino?
