Hello world,
Having some interesting thought processes however I'm unable to define these in grasshopper using a simple script.
I wish to take several volumes (100) for example and pick a point in space, (the sun)
Then draw lines from each area centroid of the volumes to the sun.
I then wish each volume to be extruded to a certain height (5m) however where ever a line intersects with a volume I wish that volume to cease extruding at that point
It’s a concept I'm working on which I'm able to do on a small scale however when I add more volumes the scripts get very heavy, complex and I can’t help but feel there is a much simpler way.
What I'm interested in knowing is if:- There a way to map or re map an intersecting line with a volume If I simply put all the volumes and lines in a list of data.
I.e if line – 59 intersects with volume 33 extrude volume 33 to point 59. essentially I need grasshopper to know which lines are being intersected and extrude the volumes accordingley.
Really hope someone out there can interpret my text and possible help.
Thanks in advance.
Rich.

It would be helpful if you posted files in addition to your description. This would help answer several relevant questions...for example, are your starting volumes identical, and what is their orientation?
