Hi Djordje, thanks for adding me to your friends and thanks for your words!

I think it's important to have such positive feedbacks from the community.

Stay in touch.

This component.

I'm saying one Of the line components you can define by start point, vector direction, and length.

Basically why I do is this. Say my goal is to divide a line and rotate the segments 90 degrees from each segments center. So my initial paragraph may look like this.

"First I will define a start point of a line as well as it's direction and length. Then I will divide the line into segments. Then I will rotate each segment 90 degrees in some direction from it's center point."

Then I make a numbered list trying to be more specific.

"1.define a point at 0,0,0
2.make a line starting at that point in the x direction 80mm.
3.divide the line into 10 pieces.
4.find the center of each of the 10 lines.
5.rotate each line 90 degrees from the x direction clockwise from the start point."

Then I try and make a list using grasshopper components describing inputs and outputs.

1.line start point vector length. input 0,0,0 into start point, input x as direction. Input 80mm as length.
2.divide curve: input resulting line segment and input 10 as number of segment.
3.curve center point: input list of segments
4.rotate: input list of segments, input curve center points as center of rotation. Input 90 degrees into rotation amount.

Also sometimes for more complicated stuff I will make a list of rhino commands saying how I would do it In rhino. Then try and covert it to grasshopper.

Hope that helps.

Hi Djordje,

my fingerprint logo is only because I am manufacturer of biometric software and products.

I use grasshopper only in school, for teaching purposes :-)

Oh wow, I turned red as i red your comment! :-) Thank you for the compliment!
Well the main idea was, to construct a building, that resists natural disasters, especially protection in earthquake areas like Japane. People could use it as a refuge area. Else it is a multi-purpose hall with a focus on basketball. It took me 2 semesters to design and also construct it, ...

i attached one more photo, a exploded drawing.

have a good night!

cheers
