Attaching Brep to a 3D grid of nodes

Hi,

I am trying to attach a cylindrical Brep to nodes arranged roughly in a semi-sphere.

My current method is to move the cylinder to the node, centroid to centroid. However, the cylinders aren't changing direction based on the node's orientation.

Another method that I've tried is extruding the cylinder from the node's inner curve, which should be easier, but I couldn't figure how to do it.

I've attached a small piece of the model (3 nodes) and the .gh. Thanks!

Hello CC,

please attach rhino file too, or internalize the 2nd brep too.

edi* i just saw you have attached your rhino file, but you have to update the difenition according to it. the second brep component comes with nulls expecting to load 47 breps which dont exist in the 3dm file you provided

cheers

Hi guys,

Thanks! Think I've figured it out - ended up extruding the relevant curve with a vector.
