HELP!

We are a group of students, recently falled into grasshopper.

Here is the question:

We have got a delimitated space (room) in wich we have to generate a volume with the spider webs rules.

We already found a 2 dimensional function the generate any tipe of webs that determines line end-points:

FOR I=0 TO 360

T=I*P/180.0

X = R*COS(T)

Y = R*SIN(T)

X2 = R*COS(A*T)

Y2 = R*SIN(B*T)

variables A and B which allow you to

create array of spider forms

We dont know if is gonna work in our space and it lacks the Z cordinates.

To anyone has suggestions,

Thanks

am I wrong or spider web is 2 dimensional ? (that means it doesnt have volume)

I'm far far from a scripting expert but my first assumption is that you would use a recursive function that:

-creates a line with location (x) and length (y)
-then rotate the line (v) an specified incremental amont

then calling itself again...
