Diagrid Openings

Hello,

I found this diagrid surface definition here in Grasshopper3D.com, but sadly, the very definition was never posted along with the image.

So, I am asking any of you here, do you know how to produce this very definition? Note that the diagrid pattern is produced from a freeform surface, also, the openings of the diagrids are bigger towards the centre and become smaller towards the edges.

If any of you know how to produce this very definition, then please post me the definition, because I have been fiddling with Grasshopper and Rhino for days now without any results, I just can't seem to get it work.

Thank you

Marios

I send you my email: arqirigoyenleandro@gmail.com

Thanks a lott!

Comment by James DeChant on November 19, 2011 at 1:21am: Hey Marios, I'm currently working on a diagrid definition that gives me the diamond apertures exactly like the definition you show above, however I'm totally stumped once I get the diagonal lines. Is it possible for you to send me the gh definition?

Thanks so much

Comment by Pablo0o0oo0o000oo on December 29, 2010 at 10:57am: I think there has been a missunderstanding, sorry if someone had felt bad for my coment. i dont have problems sharing my work, but i teach GH in my university and my philosophy is to teach how to solve the problem step by step thinking themselves. i´ts clear this is not the case but i just tried to give my help giving the steps to resolve the problem :

-create a diagrid from a surface ( this is an easy step, you can look at this forum)

-create a atraction point (create a point and measure the distance between the centers of the diagrid panels and the point)

-Make a offset on surface of each diagrid panel boundary (the value of the distance must be a law created with the distance of the atraction point and the value you create as a force, you can just divide the distance by thr force or create a function)

-create a loft surface between both curves (panel boundary and offset) make sure they are in the same data tree and with the same data item, otherwise it wont work. Planar surface wont work neither because curves are not planar.

and thats all,

i hope it helps someone!!

Of course I'll share it :)

What is your e-mail so that I can send it to you?

Comment by Fernando Rial on December 29, 2010 at 12:55am: Marios,

I would really aprecciate if you could share the definition. I have a similar problem with a diagrid and I´m not able to get out of the problem.

Thank you
