ttached the v tiny definition that i have started. I have tried rotating the circles by changing the axis, but i cant seem to get it to move the circles 90 degrees, so that their face is pointing sideways.
The Rhino file shows what I'm looking to achieve in 3d, with the curve being a frame on the longitudinal edge of the spiral. I would like the circle to rotate so that they are perpendicular to the curve, and then i can offset them to create each rod. I have left a curve in the rhino file to use with the ghx. file.
I'm really interested in the producing a ribbon effect with the rods, and altering the length, and thickness of the rods as they spiral.
I really like the Tape worm definition that someone created. Is there any way someone can help me achieve this with rods?
Thanks Claudia

tos of the structure:
Well, it´s really simple concept, but as a beginner in Rhino and Grasshopper, i can´t imagine how to develop this structure as GH definition and with possibilities to deform it (irregulars triangles).
Guys, do you have some ideas or some links?
Thanks for your opinions!

t BBox will then be mapped relative to the UVW space of that box to the new target boxes.
Where your definition is slipping up is the data matching aspect of GH. You have two lists (that count). One list contains 100 items of target boxes and the other contains 2 items of geometry. GH defaults to the Longest List data matching
List A --> List B
Target Box A0 --> Cuboid
Target Box A1 --> Cylinder
Target Box A2 --> (Oops List B has run out of items. Now GH will repeat the last item = Cylinder)
Target Box A3 --> Cylinder
.....
Target Box J9 --> Cylinder
Solution
There are two approaches to rectify this the most logical would be to group the geometries into one object (What you had in mind with the bounding box) to do this use the Group Component on the Transform Tab > Utility Panel.
The other approach is far more common in GH mentality. Use the Graft, right click the G input of Morph and select Graft from the Context Menu. This places all of the items in the List on to separate branches. Creating a list of lists (although these new list only have one item). When GH now tries to data match them it will apply the whole of the first geometry list (Only the Cuboid) to all of the target boxes and all of the second list (Cylinder) to the target boxes again.
I hope this helps…
