algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Hi there,
Very new to grasshopper, and was wondering if I could get some help on lining up some arches.
I want a series of parabolic/catenary arches. The first arch is symmetrical and spans along a curve. I want the second arch to extend in the following directions:
From the tangent at the vertex of the inner arch or,
Continuing to extend at the same angle of the right inner arch.
I have done some basic experimenting, however the arches that i have made do not meet at the same angle, which i i'm not sure if it would be structurally stable.
Additionally, within my script my parabolic arches are two different arches joining together so i am uncertain whether they are symmetrical. How would i be able to create a catenary arch in this situation?
Thanks

My poor attempt at trying to join arches off the tangents:
