Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately, I forgot to log in to my 4Shared account for a while and they wipe out the files. I'll have to bring it back from my archives. That's an old file, though. Its for GH 0.6. Its still useful, but you can find it in the Grasshopper Primer as well. The only two differences are that instead of a rectangular window frame, the prototype is a smoothly-curved diagonally-triangulated frame (which is nice, but not easy to fabricate) and the base surface bends over itself to be self-supported (that doesn't depends on the GH definition).
Now I see in your blog that you manage to develop a structure. It looks good. Just be careful with SurfaceBox-BoxMorph method. Depending of the base surface, it generates non-planar geometry, which is problematic for using prefabricated elements in construction. There are better solutions for this problem.
Cheers,
Ernesto

Comment by andreas andreas on July 1, 2011 at 10:24am: the definition is unfortunately not to find. do you mind sending it too me? i´m facing a problem regarding the construction of a project (more on andreaswoyke.wordpress.com). this might help big time.

woud really appreciate it!

cheers, andreas
