Staircase Tutorial

A self-normalizing staircase.

This example shows a possible way to build a self-normalizing distribution of objects along a spline curve. The base curve is used to position steps at equal intervals and also the elements for the railing.

Umm, this file will not open with the current version of grasshopper for some reason. I have 0.5.0099 is there a newer one? or did I do something wrong?

Yes, there is a 0.6 version on the What's New category in the discussions.

i have tried to recreate something similar by myself, but i ran to the problem the endpoint component outputs are not sufficient for creating spline through them, using version 0.6. (the new version of spline become to picky and its not satisfied with the points i gave to her... stubborn spline...)

That's a great example!

Based in the ideas from your definition, I created a spiral staircase inspired on the one from the Vatican's Museum.

The definition is a bit rough - I'm certain it can be simplified. Hope you like it!
