Octopus is a plug-in for applying evolutionary principles to parametric design and problem solving. It allows the search for many goals at once, producing a range of optimized trade-off solutions between the extremes of each goal.
Also see octopus.E for custom evolutionary algorithms.

Octopus introduces multiple fitness values to the optimization. The best trade-offs between those objectives are searched, producing a set of possible optimum solutions that ideally reach from one extreme trade-off to the other.

I don't know how to use grasshopper very well and I need help with something that I can't find a solution to.
I'm trying to create the roof of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo and I started doing that by creating triangle surfaces from 2 curves. I want to control each surface in order to change their size or to rotate them.
I would really appreciate it if someone helped me make it look like the actual roof as much as possible.

Hello everyone!
I don't know how to use grasshopper very well and I need help with something that I can't find a solution to.
I'm trying to create the roof of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo and I started doing that by creating triangle surfaces from 2 curves. I want to control each surface in order to change their size or to rotate them.
I would really appreciate it if someone helped me make it look like the actual roof as much as possible.
Thank you!!
