Create a Shape in Grasshopper

Hello.

This is probably a painfully simple question for most of you, but I was hoping someone could help me make a shape in Grasshopper. I used polylines in Rhino to create this shape, but I want to be able to manipulate it across a grid in GH.

I was told I could start with a point in Rhino and create lines in Grasshopper to build up the curves for the shape and then eventually just bake it back into Rhino.

I hope what I'm saying makes sense. Please let me know if you need any clarification.

Thank you!

P.S.: I don't really need to know the full code but just the general GH commands.

Well it makes sense, but it's incredibly generic. Yes you can import data (be they points, curves, surfaces, meshes, etc) from Rhino into Grasshopper, you can generate new geometry using Grasshopper logic and ultimately bake that new geometry back into the Rhino file.

Before anyone can give you some actual advice, you'll have to tell us what those shapes you want to make look like or how they are defined.

Sorry about the delayed response.

I've attached screenshots of the GH definition and the shape I want to build. Is that more helpful? I can provide additional clarification if necessary.

What I'm ultimately hoping to achieve is the following:

1. Build the diamond-ish shape in GH.

2. Substitute the new shape into the pattern definition.

3. Have a pattern that is affected across a field, but instead of the circles it currently has, my diamond shape is what is affected.
