algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Taper Pipe Command??

I've been musing over this for a while...

Is there an efficient way of piping the outer poles of my model so that the bottom diameter is larger and each tapers towards a smaller diameter at the top?

This is a standard function in Rhino, but the pipe command in GH doesn't allow for this in the same way, and i can't seem to find an 'easy' work-around in GH.

It may come to me in my sleep, but any ideas are more than welcome!

Thanks,

Hi David,
Why don't you create perpendicular frames all along your curves. use them to localise circles with a radius generated with a serie component, and then loft generated circles?

Hi Yann,

Thanks for the suggestion. My work around with the loft was pretty long-winded, i'll try using the series component though. Thanks.
