beautiful!

Florian, how did you make those "bridges" between the towers?
Are they just places where the towers intersect each other, or what?

oh！very cool!

cool! thanks! the point is that i have something more complicated so i was just interested what you had there as lines in order to get the final tspline surface. Such as if they bridged because of the networks of lines. I'll give it a try if i ll have any desirable results i ll be posting something :)

good question.
I'm not quite sure anymore since I tried that I while ago.
I think I used start end endpoints of the vertical rotating lines,
selected by a series and list item. those were again connected by lines.
Since lines only need an A&B input, the whole sorting wasn't that complicated.
I will have a look if I find the definition.

i see, thanks for the quick reply. where they're bridging you have some curves connecting the different "tubes" or how did you deal with that part?

thanks

Hi Tudor.

Its actually quite simple.
You need the t-spline plugin for rhino.
The definition itself is just a translate-rotate thing in grasshopper, where
I used single line elements. The line result I baked.
In a second step I selected the baked lines and used the "T-spline from control
Polygon" command. You would have to choose "faces layout" and then adjust the
faces topology because that sometimes doesn't work as desired.
That's it.

hi florian,

nice! can you please share the definition?
