Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

YOU MIGHT FIND THIS QUESTION EASY, BUT IM JUST GETTING STARTER IN GRASSHOPPER. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A WAY TO USE A "PIPE" COMMAND, BUT INSTEAD OF A CIRCULAR PIPE, I COULD GET A RECTANGULAR ONE. PLEASE HELP, ITS URGENT.

Hi Julio,

a Pipe is little more than a Sweep with a circular cross section. If you position a rectangle (or any shape) in the right spot and use a Sweep1 component, you should be able to get rectangular pipes.

ps. your caps lock seems to be stuck.
And if you wish for the orientation to be done for you, and perhaps a hollow section created, you can try the geometry gym components in structdrawrhino, http://www.geometrygym.com/downloads

If you want just a rectangular profile on a curve, u can do what David says, just remember to use the "perpendicular to line" component (I don't remember the name and right now can't post u some example definition).

But if u want any profile, check out Jon's Structdrawrhino, it's a great great great tool and saves a lot of work.
