Surface creation - Single curved vault and hypar (hyperbolic paraboloid)

Hello everyone,

I want to create a single curved vault surface (see image 1) and hypar surface (see image 2) in Rhinoceros with span and height as user inputs. Is there any plug-in/tool available to do this or any reference gh script?

Best regards,

Sushant Goel

hi,

I developed one for hypar using Kangaroo, but what are your parameters based on like? I can send you mine.

The vault is just the extrusion of an arc, and the hypar is a 4-point nurbs surface with weighted control-points. If you can be more specific about the inputs you wish to have it's possible to come up with an approach.

Still not clear on your parameters or purpose either. But here it is but if you still wanna make it interactive then just by using KG one can do it easily.
