Parametric Bottle Design

English.

Hi all!

I created .ghx for Parametric Design of Bottle. I defined profile curves giving control points with slider, definition of hight, shifting, and offset　based on referenced circle. Then created surface with sweep and rotate them with number of division. Section curves of 2Railsweep is defined with 3 Point arc and shape is also controlable.

You can change shape by sliding 16 paramteters.

The definition is rather long, hope somebody can modify with more… Continue

AA Agenda 7 - Mediating Environment and Culture - Available Online

Hi guys,

I wanted to share with you the work of our unit which is now available at the AA book store or directly online: http://www.aaschool.ac.uk/PUBLIC/Main.aspx?sectionId=1&entryId=473

The work is very relevant for all GH users as we linked associative digital models to all sorts of environmental constraints and fabrication techniques.

We also tried to re-visit the idea of "ground" in Architecture and in the work of… Continue

surface with two arcs sharin one pt

Hi there I`m tryin to create a panelized surface with the tringaulation component - using all single 4 corner pts of a pattern to create surfaces.

pretty easy

further on i had the intention not only to use lines creating hard edged triangels but arcs to give those forms a smoove shape.

my problem now is that i couldnt find any possibility to build a triangle with two arcs and one line.

the only way to get my forms smoover was to extrude an arc onto one point.

what… Continue

Sliders and expressions

I finally figured out that the variable to use in a slider's expression is the name of the slider itself. Unfortunately, changing the name of the slider does not seem to automatically update the variable.

Grasshopper - gmp - SOSC _ #02 - mockup

first of all, the SASC – Shanghai Aquatic Sports Center was renamed by the mayor

now it is called SOSC – Shanghai Oriental Sports Center

(seems all important building or event are called “Oriental XX” in Shanghai ...)

the façade and roof 1:1 mockup of SOSC is finished

it is one corner of the last girder of natatorium

and the girders is one series of slightly changing… Continue

Spatial curves

minU - minimal U value

maxU - maximal U value

dens - curve density (number of objects along curve path)

wireframe modelling

Hi there,

Just to share with you; a parametric model of the temporary cardboard bridge I designed fir Shigeru Ban at the pont du gard. The wireframe is supposed to go to the structural engineers directely.

It's my first attempt in grasshopper, so any comments on efficiency or further possibilities of the script are welcome.

I wish to implement a horizontal scale factor, for instance, so the structure becomes wider at the fixations only. How to do… Continue

Umbilic Torus

Trying to learn a bit about mathematical surfaces and how to build them in GH using the expression editor. This was a pretty interesting one I came across on the Internet of a form called an Umbilic Torus. It's like a Moebius Strip in that it only has one edge, but it is a 3D form.

This definition also puts to good use a method for creating tree data from a single list, a problem I had that I got some assistance on over on the old Google Group from David Rutten and… Continue

Reorientation of Extruded Curves

Hi,
I'm modeling the metabolist's floating city. There are a series of fanned tiers or trays which hold program. I have extruded curves along each of the rotating lines, but the problem is when I used the Orient Plane Command the section that I'm extruding flips. How do I ensure that my reoriented section stays upsright?
