ill be curves not lines. But it could be fixed if necessary
1 Generation of a torus
2 Generation of Voronoi in 3d and calculation of intersection between cells and torus
3 Cut of the curves with 2 planes
4 Projection of the curves in XY planes between 0 and 2*PI
5 Scale in X of this pattern and array
Main variables are
Little radius of torus
Number of points for Populate 3d component
And the scale in X
It seems quite a simple way to generate a Seamless Voronoi.
Happy ?
For the question about symetry, cut, rotate ... you will have to draw things , seek on internet ... figure it by yourself. …
bro su Grasshopper "Architettura Parametrica", co-director della AA Rome Visiting School per la Architectural Association di Londra (http://www.arturotedeschi.com/).
Il corso introdurrà il software Grasshopper, plug-in per la modellazione parametrica in Rhino. I partecipanti saranno guidati attraverso gli aspetti più importanti del programma e le principali tecniche per la programmazione visuale all’interno di Rhinoceros. Il corso è rivolto a studenti con esperienza minima nella modellazione 3D e si articolerà in lezioni teoriche ed esercitazioni. Sarà rilasciato un attestato di partecipazione.
principali argomenti: - Introduzione alla progettazione parametrica: teoria, esempi, casi studio - Grasshopper: concetti base, logica algoritmica, interfaccia grafica - Nozioni fondamentali: componenti, connessioni, data flow - Funzioni matematiche e logiche, serie, gestione dei dati - Analisi e definizione di curve e superfici - Definizione di griglie e pattern complessi - Trasformazioni geometriche - Data tree: gestione di dati complessi - Meshes e Subdivision Surfaces (Weaverbird)

http://grasshopperworkshopcairo.blogspot.it/ introduction: This workshop will introduce basic and advanced notions of Grasshopper and the methodology of parametric design and algorithmic modeling and its usage in Architecture, design, landscape, and urban scale. It is intended for professionals and students with a minimum experience in 3D Modeling.
…
s will learn to use these extensions in order to integrate numerous tools for analysis and simulation in the architectural process.
This course aims to develop a link between the virtual and the real context model through structural or environmental simulations, using other software or plug-ins dedicated. Through this link the virtual model receives physical properties that can further modify and adapt the initial model. This creates feedback loops that can optimize the design to provide an object responsive to environmental conditions.
Curriculum
Mesh subdivision with Weaverbird, continuous surfaces without NURBS
Genetic optimization with Galapagos, optimal search
Physical environment feedback with Diva and Geco, solar and day lighting analysis
Adding physical properties with Kangaroo Physics, interactive form-finding
Linking the parametric model with structural analysis using Karamba, structural performance simulation
Extracting data with Firefly and Kinect, 3D scanning and human movement tracking
Exchange of information between Grasshopper and other applications with Ghowl links to internet feeds or Excel files.

2. Modelo now supports VR! check out this video:
3. We've added a specular option in the rendering settings. So now you can have your design rendered a little bit shinny-er.
4. There is also a "filters" option in this panel, with which you can get some interesting image post processing effects. We are expanding this filter library, if you have any suggestions, please let us know.
5. This one is very important and has been requested by our customers for a long time. Now when you upload a model, you can grab the reviews(3d comments, screenshots,sketches) from your previously uploaded model! This works really conveniently if you use Modelo for your design review/presentation, cause you don't have to recreate the same 3d anchor views every time you made some changes to your design.
6. Also, our developer API is almost ready, which means if anyone is interested in developing a grasshopper plugin that works with Modelo, they can!
There are some many other updates and bug fixes happened. I don't want to list all of them here. Definitely stay subscribed with our newsletter. Modelo is thrived to grow into a more comprehensive platform! If you have any good ideas about our platform, please do not hesitate to let me know!

rquitectura y el diseño, tanto como plataforma de comprobación de ideas como de producción directa de objetos finales. Los participantes serán introducidos en el uso de softwares de modelado 2d y 3d para la generación de geometrías que serán posteriormente mecanizadas in situ en una máquina de control numérico CNC de 3 ejes.
Para este workshop, proponemos un ejercicio de eficiencia en el diseño y optimización de la producción. Apoyándonos en las nuevas herramientas digitales, los participantes crearán una estructura que sea capaz de soportar su propio peso (como por ejemplo una silla, un banco, etc…). Se pretende fabricar una estructura ligera compuesta por un único material y montada sin el uso de herrajes o componentes externos.

it within the same smart umbrella? Or put it differently: is it worthy to exploit/consider/evaluate GH methods and development orientations that could "approximate" Utopia?
Let's split the case into segments:
The parametric part thing (although critical) is complex and rather beyond the scope of GH. Affects Rhino far more than GH. That said Microstation has 3 levels for doing this (but forget Microstation and/or Gen Comp).
So for a start we can focus in GH acting as a "composer" in 3D place of all the required (hopefully real) parts for the job. Parts must be nested AND readable as such by an external AEC app.
I'll post here (soon I do hope) all the parts that are required for assembling this. I mean individual static "blocks" that we assume (wrongly) that remain static: I mean we presuppose that the whole GH geometry is fixed (thus this is really a smart sketch of some sort) and no further changes are on schedule (that MAY affect parts).
That said I prefer an incomplete Utopia (one thing that "does" it all, or it thinks that does it) than a myriad of individual apps that take input one from the other and promise the Holly Grail (and/or delivering it). The core reason that I use Microstation as my basic platform is exactly that (obviously with a certain price to pay: bugs, shortcomings, wrong concepts in places etc etc etc).
Best, Peter

b, then tried again, but I still have no luck. So what I did is I modeled the building again in Rhino and reduced the curves then I imported the geometry into GH and used the HoneyBee zone by surfaces component , but I noticed that after I grabbed the new components I get a "NULL" if I plug a panel to the final zone. Finally I decided to model a very simple box and grab all its surfaces to create a zone , and to my surprise I still get "NULL" Am I doing something wrong ? here are what I did to create this one zone box
1- modeled a 3d box in Rhino
2- Exploded it
3- In grasshopper I created HB-surfaces ( Floor, Ceiling, 4 individual walls and added I glazing by ratio to one of the walls)
Here is an image, also I attached the file, the box components are grouped with an orange background. Now I'm convinced that I have a bug or something because it can't get easier than creating a zone from a simple box and yet I get a "NULL" message.

iew mode:
instead of the fabrication mode (individual Breps ready for 3d printing - minus "some" little details with regard their effortless connection > this is what V3 does):
2. GH does not (AFAIK) include the mesh.Offset capability (used a little C# for that).
3. I promise to translate the test C# used into native components ... if the result is what you are after (you never know, he he).
4. Rounding (fillet) the thickened panel lips (around the hole and with regard perimeter panels) is doable but only via code: AFAIK GH does not include the Surface.CreateRollingBallFillet method (something that does fillets, that is - forget it for the moment). In fact ... there's a complex way to do it without that method ... but is not for the moment (next week you'll be 100% more experienced, he he).…
