Hi Jon,

I used a Cull Pattern (Boolean) at the base as you suggested.  It worked great. Thanks for the help (and tools)!

Hi Amos,

 

You could try morphing the resulting surfaces (joined), but that would add distortion.  Or boolean separate the aspects of interest at a base plane.  Otherwise it starts to sound more like a paneling exercise.

Hi Jon,

Is there a way of manipulating the geodesic dome using sdrGD component so that the base of the sphere opens up, therefore providing a broader base?

Thanks, Amos

Hi, yes, a Rhino/Grasshopper Plug-in, StructDrawRhino, there's a summary of the tools at http://www.geometrygym.com/summary, you can view youTube clips demonstrating the tool and download example files from http://geometrygym.blogspot.com Let me know if you need any help getting started with the tools, you do need the free trial license by running the Rhino command sdrZZLicenseRequest

Hi Jon! Very interesting! Is this a Plug In for Grasshopper?
Thanks, Ferdinand
