Ceilling structure

Hey guys,

I’m pretty new in this whole grasshopper subject and thats why I would be super happy if somebody could help me! :)

As you see on the image below I’m trying to build a curvy ceilling structure which is combined with some columns. The columns are arranged in a straight grid structure. I’m not able to get a smooth transition between structural curves as you can see in the image.

Problem 1: I was able to make the columns out of 4 curves, I need this to be 8.

Problem 2: I want to be able to manipulate the column posiotions by XYZ.

Problem 3: The curves (these two curves should be a dome like structure) from two columns aren’t conecting smoothly as you can see in the green ellipse in the image below.

After I created the column curves ( blue circle) in grasshopper (file: 'Surface+Columns' and 'columns2') I made solid columns out of it and tryed to join them smoothly with the surface to project a grid structure on it (in rhino).

Unfortunatly I  went wrong and the problem is which you can see in the red ellipse:

The column pipes aren’t on the same level like the grid structure of the surface. Somethimes they are on, sometimes under the surface.

Could somebody help me please, That would be absolutly great!! :)

In the file 'Surface' you'll find the Surface with the current column possition.

Here you find a few reference pictures, but actually it should look like on the rendering below - just properly :)
