Hi Dmitrii,

unfortunately you cannot create custom loops. The HoopSnake plugin can probably do this, but that is not part of standard Grasshopper.

It is possible to write VB/C#/Python code as well and there you can have all the loops you want, but that means abandoning the GH interface of course.

What sort of Do/While loop are you looking to create?

Not as a native grasshopper feature. There is a plugin called hoopsnake that addresses this

This is the sort of thing you would do.

Offset the curve by a starting/modified value --> evaluate the number of sides of the offset.

If not 3 then hoopsnake

repeat
