algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi Natalia!

As you mention, some puntualizations:

1.- In order to properly modify the geodesic dome to move the panels according to sun incidence, instead of bringing the CAD model into GH, best thing would actually be to parametrize the dome itself. Otherwise, turning the 3D lines into a sorted list of grouped points is going to be a huge mess, and we are not even sure if the CAD model would have some kind of internal order to start with...

2.- Anyway, if you want to do it the 'hard' way (choosing each point independently, totally not recommended...), you should first find the 'base panel' to perform sun angle calculations, and then modify the top geometry proportionally to this angle:

3.- If you'd rather instead work with opening variables holes on it, the procedure would be very similar, but instead of modifying the geometry, drawing the circle and the resulting surface:

Good luck!

Thank you a lot, Jose

I'll try both possibilities to see what I get ... It looks like it will be fun! Thanks for the files. I am going to attempt to understand them...

I hope the parametric god be with me ;P

N.

S/he will, for sure!
