Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hello All!

I hope you can help me with this Grasshopper Script.

Generally, what I am trying to do is to use Kangoroo to have this mesh behave almost as a set of rigid surfaces glued on fabric.

The Kangooroo part works and I was able to get the whole script to work for an entirely triangular mesh. But now I am having problems with this MIXED hexagonal-triangular mesh.

The problem is that, I want the Kangoroo to run when I move any one of the original points. If you try to move say one of the points in the Rhino file I have posted (make sure you select the point with both layers "POINTS end" and "POINTS start" unlocked).

As you can see, now when I move a point in grasshopper, the mesh cannot recompute because some of the offset lines do NOT offset along the right plane.

The reason why I am offsetting the initial set of lines in the first place is because I am trying to simulate as if there was a space between rigid panels, and this space behaved like fabric (in this case like Kangoroo springs).

Please let me know if you have any solution for this problem. Sorry for the long post, if you need any clarifications, please feel free to ask. Thanks :)
