Selfintersecting Moebius Band

Comment

A self intersecting Moebius band is a version of the Moebius band with no ends and no start. The surface area of this shape is unchanged by rotations, but its boundary determines which direction it can be rotated.The topologically simplest example of such a surface is the sphere (in fact, if you draw lines tangent to all points on the surface, they will cross each other). If we consider this object as a circle instead, then its interior would look like a cylinder with two holes in it. Well, I have decided to hire a law research paper writer because I have no idea about how to write a good research paper.

Amazing! I really learned a lot from you guys:)
I would try to make some of my own later.

That's probably due to the nurbs interpolation, if you increase the number of points it should go away.
Btw, now i remember that thread, my memory is failing me misserably lately, i didn't even remember i had it with you.

Anyway, it was thanks to your enormous willingness to share and help people that I got started with GH, and the Moebius definition you posted kept me occupied for a long time, trying out different options. Thanks!

Hi Vicente, yes I remember that thread, it is very good that the forum moved here, so files don't dissapear all the time.

Found that def - doublemobius.ghx just flattened one input and now it works.

I actually look at it the other way around and prefer the holes in the finished model to be round. One thing I never did understand with the definition above is why the surface didn't meet nicely, since it was constructed from a mathematical function it should have.

Hi Lars, it's a shame many files have been deleted from the old forum. I posted something similar in december of last year. I don't have the definition, just the screenshot i posted:

The downside of orienting circles directly onto the mobius band is that if you were to unroll the band and flatten it out, the holes won't be circular. This definition uses another method so this doesen't happen.
