inflatable question

Hello,

I recently had a question about how to create pneumatic pillows in a patterned way.

Thanks to Daniel, I succeeded in creating the pillows, but when I added the tension cables for the structural support, the pillows don't seem to interact with the cables..

what's strange is that the tension cables take on the correct shape, but the pneumatic pillows sits flat on the ground.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Jung,

I checked your file and I think your cables called 'connections' are not physically linked in rhino to your mesh.

Hi,

Thanks for pointing that out.

Here is the version with connections linked to geometries!

that's awesome..!

but the problem is that I need to keep the connection points at the bottom center of the pillow. If you could share the script, I will try to work my way into getting the right connections. Thanks for your help!

I make some changes in the connections as what you want.
