parametric pannel with the definition

Good day, Actually I am new to grasshopper and i would like to do a full parametric roof, I dont know if it is easy to do but actually i ve been trying for more than 2 days and now I am posting this wishing that someone can help.

As shown in the picture attached i would like to be able to change the height of the points A/D, E/E , B/C each couple equally, as well as the X and Y value.

Also i would like to make the same actions but in the other direction (i think i should use dispatch)?

Also note that I attached the definition I ve made for one direction

if someone can have a look to this and help me to do it i would really appreciate.

Regards

Do you want to have a slope from one side to the other but keep the profile the same?

If so I would create one side only then move(copy) it to the other side with the difference in height and loft between them.

Thank you for your reply,

Actually I want to do the same actions but perpendicular to the first direction. so the middle added point will be on the other segments (like shown in the drawing i did)

Ok. Like switch one or the other, not both?

I have another question, is there any way to do a similar action in grasshopper:

- if the height underceiling is greater than X value --> grasshopper to generate a mezanninnelevel with stairs per exemple?

thank you in advance

There are plenty of ways in which to use conditional statements in Grasshopper.

There are components dedicated to them: [Smaller than], [Larger Than], [Equality].

These can also be used in conjunction with Boolean Logic: [GATE AND], [GATE OR], [GATE NOT] etc

Alternatively you can write conditional statements into Expressions such as IF(x=1, y, z)

Once you have a Pattern of TRUE and FALSES (ones and zeros) from these components you can use [Dispatch] send ones that conform off down a different path of the definition or [Cull Pattern] to get rid of the ones that you no longer want etc.
