Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Array a vertical curve that changes in height and width, along another curve.

Hi all,

I am new to Grasshopper, but am trying to use it constructively in my final masters project in architecture. I'm pretty sure what I am trying to do will be peanuts easy to a pro, but I'm yet to know where to even start, any help at all would be sooooo appreciated!

I've had a very basic intro to the software, so I have an understanding of how to at least try and break things down into a more GH language.

I'm trying to achieve something along the lines of the attached image (Precedent project, Veneto City) so have sketched out the kind of way I imagine it being set out in GH.

1) The building is formed along a central spine that ondulates with the width varrying according to points I wish to be able to control along that central line.

2) With these controllable points, the width and height of the curves(arches) would increase incrementally whilst keeping their proportion to achieve a smooth transition in both aspects.

3) These curves will be the geometry for a structural system, so I would like to be able to control the things below to create variations until the final combination is achieved:

- Minimum curve/arch width and height

- Control the points at which the above change ie. the point at which the width starts to increase or decrease until the next point

I'm not familiar with plugins and being a novice would much prefer trying to learn how to do this within GH itself, unless the plugin has a magical feature that does it all :)

Any and all help more than welcome!

Thanks :)

Hi.

Hope it is of some help. Best.

If you want a surface, then check this as well.

Hi,

Thank you so much, this just made my week! I had a play around and tried different graph mapper types and reached a near perfect result, but I get the two end zones with the height constantly "high".

Is there a way I can add more vertical variation just so I can reduce two independent parts? 

Can't thank enough how your quick reply helped so much with my masters project and getting to grips with GH a bit more!

Thanks!

Maybe you need to add another graphmapper for more delicate adjustments?

Attachments:

Fabulous! Managed to get there with the second graph and using some reverse operations and other bits.

Thanks again, definitely sparked my GH interest after this help :)
