Latest version of Gridshell Components

by Alex Baalham

Oct 17, 2012

I've cleaned up Gridshell Components and put together a few example GH files to get started. The inputs and outputs have been rationalised to speed up the modelling process.

 

I've also added an 'Unroll Curves' component which measures the geodesic curvature of a curve on a surface and produces the 2D 'unrolled' curve. Geodesic curves (e.g. those produced with the Shortpath command) unroll to straight lines. It is now possible to generate fabrication patterns for any arrangement of straight or curved laths over a surface.

 

The latest GHA:

Gridshell Components.GHA

(note: developed with GH 0.8.0066, still to be tested with 0.9.xxxx)

 

Example GH files:

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Example 4

 

Reference surface for use with the above:

Gridshell%20Components%20-%20Reference%20Surface.3dm

    Anyone manage to sort the split tree failure?

    If you are still wondering, the problem is in the {0,*} which is set as a text into the component. the comma (,) should be replaced with a semicolon (;) to make it look like {0;*}. I guess it is a new rule in the newer version of gs. Otherwise the components work like charm. Thanks Alex!
