Waffle system with ribs normal to reference surface

Hi everyone,

     I have used waffle definitions in the past, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a working def floating around where the ribs are normal to the surface of reference. I am trying to create a tube like structure with the ribs normal to the tubed surface.

Best,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Can you post a screenshot or sketch of what are you trying to do?

Hi Djordge

    I am ultimatly working on making a shape similar to the project by Ernesto Neto. I have used the definition provided by lift architects but now I need the ribs to run along the surface . so if you see the ribs from a side view, they are running normal to the surface rather then just vertically and Horizontally. I have provided a basic sketch of how I want the ribs to align with the surface.

    Thanks for taking interest and I would appreciate any suggestions or help you might be able to provide.

Best,

Mike Garcia

Search for 'radial grillage' on this forum. Taz (and others) made a great set of grillage fabrication tools including what it sounds like you need.
