Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Bundle tower

I have been trying to create the bundle tower, but i  got stuck. it could be because of the logic i am working with. the thing is that i am not a professional in grasshopper. 

this is what i am supposed to do:

  1. The tower height is a variable
  2. The degrees of symmetry in plan is variable from 2 to 10 (2 bundles up to 10 bundles; the actual project has 4 bundles made from 8 individual towers or tubes).
  3. The overall radius or diameter of the circle on which each tower is located is a variable
  4. The tower should match the overall topology of the Bundle Tower: each tube should alternate between touching its neighboring tube on the left and right twice. 
  5. The number of floors is a variable
 Overall tower height: 500m
- Floor to floor height: 4.5m (I recommend that you increase this to 10m while testing)
- Each tube's plan roughly has an area of 1000m2

this is what i have got so far:

I  just need guidance because i am soo lost. thank you

Not to resurrect a completely dead thread, but if anyone finds this and is trying to do a bundle tower, check out this video here.
