Hi Jon,
Seems really good. Much more successful than my attempt. I had a quick look at it after a few issues with installing the new StructDrawRhino, but I got there in the end!
Will have a play with it properly when my desktop has finished…

Hi Mark,
Here's my first stab at generating some trusses. Looks like I was a bit heavy handed with the chord profile. You should take a look at the 2012 stadium screen capture on the blog to see how to control the profiles etc, or let me…

Sounds great. I'll have a look at it again when I finish the other project I am currently trying to finish off!
Thanks again.

Sweeping along non-planar curves can cause problems, but we're a good chance (or can try to address it if we're not successful straight up). I'll take a look as soon as I can.
You can use the sdrCurveNetwork component to create…

I have looked at StructDrawRhino briefly previously, but didn't really have time to play with it and had forgotten about it when doing this. The example looks very interesting but again the curve only seems to be in one plain? Would it work on…

Looks cool, I'd like to help, but I'm a bit hectic at the moment.
Have you seen this example using my plug-in?

Truss from a surface and a curve.
HiI'm new to Rhino and Grasshopper and I am having a few problems with a definition I have been trying to write.I am trying to create a truss, from a surface and a curve. I have managed to array the curve around a point and on to the surface and create the top and bottom tubular sections of the truss but I am struggling with creating the diagonal braces between the top and bottom members. The section of the definition that I have created to make the bracing works on a curve in a single plane…See More

- Yeah it is, it looks pretty impressive, the way I wrote it it works flat but can't cope when it curves in two directions and being new to grasshopper, it's hard to try and work out why it doesn't work.
The crowd generator on your blog is also quite impressive.
