I apologize first that I have only begun working with the Grasshopper plugin as of the last three days. I have a basic definition composed of lines and points (im sure there are much easier ways to compose the same result). My goal is to acheive a definition where I have access to two sliders: one that controls the extent of stretch and one that controls the amount of shear along the central axis of the component. I have defined the first slider requirement, the problem I have encountered is that I am unable to properly execute the shear component (I do not know how to construct a single geometry out of my current defintion, along with the need for clarification on the other required inputs).
On a side note as well, what is the easiest way to give the definition a particular thickness without excessive point and line parameters?
