Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Is there a way to create an open sweep in GH like Rhino? 

When using sweep with more than one section curve (profile), rhino has a menu option toggle, closed sweep, enabling the ability to leave the sweep open. Does grasshopper?

Thanks in advance,

Jill

When possible it is always a good idea to work up though the levels from Numbers to Surfaces. So in this case we are cutting the circle before we sweep the crv along the profile instead of trimming the surface if your using a just and arc you could code if even more simply. 

Circle Option 

Arc Option

Hope this is some help

Thanks Matt.  I opened your file and indeed it worked. I tried to mimic it and failed. Any advice.

Can't open your file till the morning as don't have easy access to GH at home. If the problem is with the arc example i realised i forgot to mention the Expression in the Dom component inputs denoted by the (*) is

Rad(x)

Just right click on the inputs and put Rad(x) in each input and it should work.

This changes the Slider inputs from degree's to Radian for the arc component.

If its another error if you could post a quick screen grab (Crtl + Q) i think. I can see if i can work it out from the picture. An error msg in little speech bubbles above orange or read component would be helpful too.

Sorry Matt, I recreated the circle option exactly as you had and it worked. I tried something different in the example I attached previously and it didnt work.  I am sooo new and dont know what i am doing.  I dont want to waste your time so Ill kick it around a bit. I dont want to waste your time. I appreciate you helping a newbie.  thanks so much.

HI Jill,

Don't worry, we all have to start somewhere, sometime. I am still learning new things. I have updated your code so it now works and added a little note as to why it failed. If your just using Circles have a look at the Pipe component instead of the sweep component option.
