Grrrr Waffles?! :)

Hi Everyone sorry to post another Waffle Q&A, i've tried solving it on my own but i'm getting no where, I've followed a few tutorials but can't get it to work! I know it's a pretty simple surface too. If anyone can help it would very much be appreciated!

I've got the divisions to go one way, but why won't they go the other in the fashion I want them too lol? I've even manually drawn the lines into the surface, but for the life of me can't figure how I would manually create a waffle system either. Maybe it's one of those days!

Cheers

Adam

Seeing your Post Title just made me sing "...They're waffley versitile..."

Just for that I'll have a look!

So I realised how to do it manually in Rhino (must of been a mid afternoon mind block!) but am stil very much interested in doing this in grasshopper in the future, so please any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I also had a thought, does the orientation of the surface effect how the divisions are made in the definition? in which case maybe I should "lay" the surface down?

Wow Thank you Mario! Did you come up with that on the spot or did you have some of that saved?!

I had it saved.

Does it help?

Yes very much! On a separate note, if I wanted to get the same effect but using a Surface mesh, is it too much more tricky?

May i ask why you need a mesh for?

Yea sure, basically were looking at a facarde system, so the surface reference might change often, so just looking at a fast accurate way of being able to update the "waffles" using any surface we put into grasshopper.

Ok, so if i get your idea correctly you need to feed gh with surfaces instead of curves.

If so, please see attached files
