en it become shorter and shorter towards the end where they come together to the point they are like 5' tall. Also, I want the widest part to bend away from each other, start to come together towards the middle and then once past the middle they start to bend towards each other to the point the are touching and becoming one at the end where they meet.
I am a novice at best, I have tried several different methods and watch many tutorials with no luck on making this work. My biggest issue is with the bending.
What I did was draw my "fins" profile with curves and joined them so it was all one curve, then brought that curve into GH and arrayed it along an angled line so that I got the spacing I was looking for. I then extruded these shapes but they all extrude the same height. I don't know how I can go in and pick out one of the shapes to then start to manipulate it to bend how I'd like. I could possibly do extrude along a curve but then I would have to draw all the curves in and it ends up not looking concentric like I know grasshopper can do and I am having an issue that it twists. My idea was to get one side done and then just mirror the whole thing.Any help would be great, maybe I don't know a command, maybe I'm doing it in the wrong order (both likely) but I just don't know
Thanks in advance. I have attached my GH file with "fin" profile I am trying to use attached. I also attached two sketches, one shows the profile of the fin again, and the other shows the over all concept incase you have no idea what I was saying above…

how to solve the problem with these sticks moving around all three axes?
You can find my finished project: http://m4h.hyperbody.nl/index.php/Msc1G7:Expert1
In the end I faked it, after trying for a long time, never thought about asking here.
The first GH file is the most useable, the one I used in the end is more developed then this but it's really messy and hard to clean up (though I will do it if someone wants to help me)
The second is an early sketch, easier overview,
The third one is messy but also has some ideas in it, don't think its helpful but just for the sake of it attached.

torial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqbCkjMYxdk).The example file worked fine after I updated it, but I tried to re-do the script by myself and run the gridbased simulation for illuminance and it gives me a fatal error message (as seen on the image, also for DF simulation):
Failed to read the results!rtrace: fatal - (WWR_.5_TVis_.6_RAD.oct): truncated octree
Runtime error (PythonException): Failed to read the results!
Traceback: line 336, in script
I checked everything again and it still gives me the same error. I uploaded 2 of my script files (one where both illuminance + DF simulation did not work and another one where DF simulation could work). I am using the latest LB+HB version and Copenhagen as my weather file.Can someone tell me what is wrong and help me to solve this issue?
Thanks before!…

ts connectors and slots that allow CNC machining the facets and connectors for assembly.

We developed this construction methodology earlier this year while working on a large scale parametric structure for Midburn, the Israeli Burning Man. While doing so I used grasshopper to generate the facets for the geometry, while a friend on the team (Matan Zohar) wrote a javascript app that translated the mesh into connectors and slots for CNC manufacturing. You can see more about the project here:

I wrote this component as an exercise in learning rhinoscript and python, with the purpose of bringing the functionality into the grasshopper workflow. It's now to the point where it is working for triangle and square welded meshes while outputting the connectors and slots as an unorganized list.
Questions and To Do List
1. I'm new to object oriented coding and functions, and basically just wrote the whole thing as a series of conditional loops with two dimensional arrays holding the data. Planning on restructuring this better, would love any tips.
2. Right now outputting the connectors and slots on the input mesh itself in 3D, planning on setting this up layed out on one plane to organize for cutting. I was wondering if there are any existing tools for this or if I need to do this manually.
3. Labeling connectors and slots. Is there anyway to output text from python that can be later baked into the rhino for labeling?…
attached parallel script, but it is still too slow in my case. I need to be able to move the reference surface around in Rhino and get as quick a feedback in GH as possible.
def closestpt(point): pattern = [] rc, u, v = srf.ClosestPoint(point) surface_xyz = srf.PointAt(u,v) dirPos = rs.PointAdd(surface_xyz, surface_normal) dirNeg = rs.PointSubtract(surface_xyz, surface_normal) dist = rs.Distance(surface_xyz, point) if (rs.Distance(point, dirPos) > rs.Distance(point, dirNeg)): bool = False else: bool = True pattern.append(bool) return pattern
surface_normal = rs.SurfaceNormal(srf, (0,0)) pattern = ghpythonlib.parallel.run(closestpt, pts, True)
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Max…
