"Its because you're using the 5.0099 build. It was done in 6.019. You should really update as the 6.0 stuff has lots of useful additions such as data trees and a whole host of other things."

"Hi Damien - When I open your GHX file I am getting 25 errors. What am I doing wrong? I have the Grasshopper 5.0099 build. Any ideas? Thank you. walter"

"Yea I think I need to capture a few more frames per second...it just goes by too quickly. For reference it took me maybe 10-12 minutes to put it together. One thing I will add is that its fairly easy to make a helix with a variable radius with that…"

"hi all, im on a familiar problem, i want to create a cone simultaneously to a spiral... my so far .ghx file attached i try filter out points on curve with y=0 to get profile curve for lofting - but its not at the curve thanx"

Daniel Piker replied to CarlosE's discussion Generating a helix

"Yes, multiplying X & Y would change the radius, multiplying Z would change the pitch, and changing C on the Series will control the number of turns. Make the step-size something like PI/10"

"Hi Daniel, I didn't realize it could be this simple. Thank you so much for your suggestion! The multipliers go after the functions, right? Thanks, Carlos"

"Hey Damien, thank you for the definition and the video. That was insane! I will try your suggestion shortly!"

"Here is a very simple way of doing it: You could change the radius/pitch/turns by just putting in mutlipliers"

Generating a helix

Hello,How can a helix be generated in grasshopper? In Rhino a helix command exists but I would like to have the radius and number of turns to be controlled by a slider.Thanks!CarlosSee More

CarlosE replied to CarlosE's discussion Problem with creating interpolated curve from a set of points from 3 curves

"Thanks Matthew for your suggestion. At the moment I was able to achieve what I needed using the Weave component. I had the three curves as input and arranged my 'pattern' so that the order goes one curve after another. I will try your…"

Problem with creating interpolated curve from a set of points from 3 curves

Hello,I am trying to create an interpolated curve from points that are generated from three different divided curves. When I input the points from these three curves into the V input on the IntCrv component, the resulting curve is not continuous. When inserting a Points-List component, I see that the point numbers are also not sequential, which I think is why the curve is not continuous. Question: how can I reassign these points in order? Or is there something else I can try?Thanks!See More
