Catenary surface

Hi I havve been looking around to find a basic tutorial for making Catenary surfaces, new to kangaroo.

Similar to this video

I want to create a series of adjoining catenary surfaces where the corner points are in varying heights

Maybe I have been searching for the wrong terms, but if someone can point out a direction and I would be super grateful!!!!

Hi John, I have made a similar example with a hexagonal surface as base. Feel free too take a look at it and see if it helps:

The file shows how to subdivide a surface, generate the springs and anchorpoints.
