Box rolling down hill

Hello, I have recently learned to use grasshopper and I am trying to use kangaroo for my studio project. I would like to simulate a motion of a box rolling down a muddy hill and gradually settle into the topography. I am not very familiar with kangaroo at the moment, so I was searching video tutorials but couldn't find anything related to my topic. I wonder if someone can point me a direction that I can work with?Thank you!!p.s-attached is my sketch for animationbest,MinghuiSee More

Question: transforming geometry of a rectangle

Hello,I am trying to make a parametric model of Crown Hall by Mies van der Rohe. I made a rectangle wall with points indicating where mullions are going to be. I wonder if there is a way I can grab two diagonal corner points of the rectangle and move them inside along the grid, and points on the rectangle move along with them... it might be easier to understand by looking at attached sketch.Thank you!See More

Creating I-beam that changes according to different parameters

Hello, I have just started learning grasshopper and I am trying to recreate Mies van der Rohe's Crown Hall in Grasshopper for a school project. I would like to rebuild the i beams used for roof suspension and column in grasshopper and show that the size of the beam changes with different parameters change in the building. (i.e. if the building gets taller, the columns need to get bigger, etc)I have attached a simple sketch of the my idea, I am struggling with making the I-beams. Thank you!See More
