Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

i need help with my first grasshoppers work

Hi to everyone , i'm new in this forum and i'm a beginner user of grasshopper , in these days im trying to do a model for a facade of skyscraper that is formed by a triangle , i've followed a tutorial for a parametric tower , but the problem i encounterd is that i'd like to influence the shape of the base triangle by moving a vertex , and i dont know how i can do this.....

i've attached a draft to better explain my obviectives.

 

thanks to you all

 

best regards Giacomo

Hi Giacomo,

 

This would be my approach:

1) Create a box to represent the building

2) Draw a "Function Curve" on One Face of the building

3) Intersect the Back Face edges and the Function Curve with Planes at the desired Floor Heights

4) Group Each Floor's intersection points together and create a triangle for Planar Srfs
