Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hey all,

So (with help) ive used and attractor curve definition to create/adjust perforations on a surface. I"m looking to do something similar but don't know enough to figure it out. i'm looking to use an attractor curve to adjust curves that are being lofted to create a "wavey" surface. I've attached a picture to show the end result. Right now i create all the curves and then loft them together to create a surface which could then have a rib definition applied to it, and it works, my problem is that this project is for a 80' section of wall with ribs that would be a few inches apart, so that is a ton of curves i have to change everytime i want to adjust the overall shape. So is it possible to have an attractor curve that instead of adjusting the spacing of shapes in plane with the curve, would create high points or low points perpendicular to the curve? Hopefully that makes some sense, i'm having trouble finding the words to explain it, the attached pictures should help. 

Any advice on how to do this would be great. I hate being that guy but this project came up last minute and it seemed like something the Grasshopper help save a ton of time in as far as adjustments go.

Thanks,

Kyle

I think that the easiest way to achieve the ribs of your example is by moving the points of the curves using an Image Sample.

i'm afraid i don't fully understand..
