Differing floor heights within a parametric tower

Hi,

I'm a total beginner in Grasshopper and have been playing around with various tutorials to try and learn how to design within it.

I've created a twisty tower and even managed to separate out specific floors and move them around.

The next thing I'm looking to do is to alter the selected floors floor-to-floor height. I would also want these changes to affect the overall tower height so that my tower would have a general floor to floor of 3m but a number of other floors could have differing heights.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've attached my gh file and a screen shot for reference.

Matt.

Hi Matt, how do you want to control the heights? Do you want to supply a list of numbers so that each floor can be controlled individually? Do you want to supply a list of integers that identify those floors that are 4 meters high instead of the default 3? Do you want the heights to be related to some measured property? Do you want to have a stacked pattern such as (4.5 meter, 3 meters, 3 meters, 3 meters, then repeat)? or...

I think I want to supply a list of numbers that would then allow me to control each individual floor height.

In my file I've picked out a range of floors that I'd like to change but I guess what I'm really asking is how do I single out a specific floor from my tower and alter that height separately from the others using a slider.

After a while trying to figure it out I've found a parametric solution.

The attached graphic and my example gh file show the workflow and how I've managed to keep it parametric.

Hope this helps anyone else encountering the same problem.

Matt.
