<p>I am quite new to rhino. I created the mesh from a lofted surface, hence the hole in the top. Should I try another way of modeling the building, or am I using wrong params?

Hi Jon,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help. Again, I really appreciate it. I’ve been playing in Rhino and discovered a way to accomplish the form I’ve been looking for. Someone suggest I use a plane, bump up the UV, with 3 degrees (for curvature), and pull on 4 control points on the plane. This gets the look of that form, however I am still interested in the plug in and the possibilities of it. There is no urgency so when you have free time I would love to learn this plug in.

Ok Peitro,<br />
I've got my mesh translator up and running and at speed (at last, it was a bit of an effort). You can download the Structural Drawing Plug-in from <a href="http://ssi.wikidot.com/downloads">http://ssi.wikidot.com/downloads</a> .

I don't have any time now this evening to do a blog tutorial, and you'll need a trial license to do this (so it will probably have to start running tomorrow).<br />
<br />
To start, you need to mesh a joined polysurface using the Rhino command mesh.<br />
Then run the weld command on the mesh (using a weld angle of 181 or greater) to join all coincident vertex. I think you also need to run the triangulate mesh command (though this won't be necessary next version).<br />
<br />
There's three plug-in commands you'll use to get your minimum surface, sdrMinShapeMesh to solve for the mimimum surface (make sure you click the option to monitor progress so you can stop it if mesh elements start to neck out).<br />
sdrMeshResize will resize a selected mesh, which is useful if you see the mesh necking (or stretching) into unequal proportion.<br />
sdrMeshRepelVerts will repel the vertex away from each other to give a more even edge lengths which will give better answers.<br />
<br />
I've attached my progressed file with some sample mesh. Note that it seems my circle radius is too large in proportion to the spacing. I'll try to reduce it tomorrow to get a shape more like your desired outcome. Also by running with smaller mesh size, it will produce better answers (but take longer).<br />
<br />
I'm sure you'll need better instructions and more help, but hope this gets you thinking about it.<br />
Cheers,<br />

With my frustration with the other plug-in at the moment I am willing to wait it out a few more days. :) Been trying to get this form for 3-4 days now.<br />

I really appreciate this. I am going to see if I can play with some other methods in the meanwhile.<br />

Thanks a lot Jon!<br />
