algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hey everyone,

I'm discovering IntraLattice and I would like to be able to build my lattice inside and/or between structures imported from STL files (i.e. my initial structures are meshes).

IntraLattice asks for "Surfaces" except in the case of the "Uniform DS" frame for which I can directly set my mesh structure as a parameter. So I am trying to figure out ways to convert my meshes into suitable surfaces for IntraLattice and I was wondering if the GH community had already managed this :)

In the case of an open surface (like the kind of circular mesh in the picture below), I simply "Patch" it in Rhino and play around with the rectangular patch I obtained. This gave me satisfying results.

However, I am not able to work that way if my surface is closed (like a cylinder but with an irregular surface, an example is given in the second image). Does anybody know if it is possible to convert a "wavy cylindrical mesh" into a "wavy cylindrical surface" in GH? I would rather not use the "Uniform DS" frame for my lattices in this type of exercise because I want the lattice to conform perfectly to my surrounding surface.

Any hints, advice or workflow are warmly welcome!

Cheers!

Is this what you are looking for?

share it with us if you find a solution, if it was me, i will contour the mesh. and loft
