To be fair, I'm not too great with tree structure, but here's what I'm trying to do:I have six surfaces and four pipes. It just so happens that surface at {0;1} intersects no pipes.After doing some clean up and path mapping, I am left with a bunch of curves in {0;0} and {0;2}. The plane in {0;1} does not intersect any of the pipes, so the branch of its resulting intersection curves is not present.When I try and project the curves back down to the plane, grasshopper tried to project the curves…See More

I was trying to create an extruded checkerboard pattern on a surface an ran into an interesting (well, for someone who doesn't program) problem. If the board had an odd number of rows/columns, checkerboarding was easy, just cull the evens or the odds. However, if there was an even number of rows or columns, you would have to alternate evens/odds per row. I eventually figured it out in a somewhat roundabout way and figured I'd post it here to see if anyone had a better way of doing it. …See More

Is it possible to find the maximum of a curve? Or the closest point on a curve to a given plane? I know how to do this with calculus...I thought Curve CP might do it, but I don't have a reference point so much as a plane. I tried sticking a plane into the point input of Curve CP, but it just used the plane's origin.See More
