closest point to the very first would be removed from the list, so the initial list reduces from 100 to 98. From the 98 i pick one and search the remaining 97 for the closest. From the remaining 96 i pick again one and search in the 95,...
(The product I want to result is:
having a number of random lines in 3D space, produced by an even number of points as discribed, this shall be the initial springs for a ("selfadjusting") tensegrity. Each one of these lines (later springs in kangaroo) get divided in three areas - that means four points. These four points again are the "attractor points" of neighbor springs, so the strut "knows" where to set the next elastic connection,...the rest I´ll have to figure out)

I experimented with many different texture effects. In the end I decided i liked the idea of the outer surface being eroded smooth. With the articulate texture protected within folds.

rface(test_brep, test_surface, 0.1, curves_list, points_list)
and I get back:
1. Error (BC30311): Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Rhino.Geometry.Curve)' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Rhino.Geometry.Curve'. (line 97)
2. Error (BC30311): Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Rhino.Geometry.Point3d)' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Rhino.Geometry.Point3d'. (line 97)
Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!…
f the mesh was self-intersecting everywhere. So instead I used Millipede (isosurface) to get the same undulations, but ignore the complex 'folds', you can see the difference in cross section thickness. I then tessellated it with the inverse pattern of the outer surface.
To make it a single 3d printable mesh, i just deleted a single face on inner and outer skin, then lofted the naked edges. (creating a tiny hole through the model). Therefore creating a single mesh that folds in on itself, not sure if there is a better way of defining the space between two meshes as the solid area...

Special thanks to Laurent Delrieu for his interesting offset mesh method that i based my approach on.
