Daniel,
Thanks for your reply, but, I have trouble opening your .ghx file. I have all the latest Rhino, GH and Kangaroo, but I keep getting an error message (attached). What could be wrong?
Jesper or Marten,
I am trying to model a very similar thing, but just can't get it right. Could you please send me the definition you came up with?
Thanks!
Yes exactly Mårten, could you maybe post or send the files?
of course the ends have to join up but its pretty close.
But how did you determine the rulings? just by trail and error?
And what if the transition would not be liniar? Because as you…
Yes okay i get that the rulings should not be perpendicular to the edge, but i still dont get how you will do it from the quad example
Can you maybe make it in rhino and post it as before?
And for the example with the elipses how did you then find…
but how is this different from the the lines of the quads you suggested?
When i try to make the ruling from the lines of your guads i get the same deviation
Is it not just a matter of how close the lines are to each other?
Careful when picking what lines to loft! The straight lines in the surface on the right are not aligned correctly with the ruling lines of your single-curved surface. Which means: it will be slightly double-curved.
It will still unroll to a straight…
Actually i tried to make a lofted surface from the centerline of each triangle and i turns out to be a straight strip when i unroll it in rhino so thats great then i just need to adjust the angles to make up the desired strip than closes up on…
Actually I already started on it about 1 hour ago, so just before you sent the last reply.
A coincidece that we thought of using the same technique
However i tried with triangles in this first step but i will try with quads as well.
Thank you
I'm currenty doing a study project where I bend/twist a cylinder. see images below
Anyone who have an idea how to construct this geometry.
Its simply a cylinder where you grab two opposite sides and rotate one of the sides to the desired angle.
In the images this is approximately 270 degrees
