Sine graph reversal on curve [updated]

Hello all,

I've spent 16 hours on this today trying to figure it out and have made some progress. I am still learning the program and appreciate you viewing this thread.

I'm trying to figure out a way to use a sine wave length along a curve with the grasshopper script below. [Update: done, thank you TOM].

I am trying to figure out a way to reverse the sine wavelength.

Current problems:

1.) Reversing the sine wavelength along the curve. And provide a graph to allow for different graphs.

I.e., I want to have a sine wavelength on the base, and 3200mm above a wavelength of a different sort.

Current File: (apply curve to any curve)

Brick%20problem.gh

2.) Contouring when lofted to allow for HFrame placement

I need to be able to apply the script to curves; and be able to adjust a series of points, and the multipiers to adjust the width the curve extrudes in the y axis away from the curve at a perpendicular angle.

Current: (took a long time but this is where I am now)

OLD:

Fixing:
Achieved:

Also, is there a way to do this without series and by linking surfaces already in Rhino3d?

Sine wavelength below, and intention to use the brick wall on in picture after.

I've been following Nick Senske's work on YouTube for those wondering.

I hope to achieve something similar to the pictures attached:

I'm trying to get a reverse sine graph as well. Reference: https://youtu.be/5A_1IBKdS4Q?t=34m1s

My problem so far is that I'm not certain how to create points along this sine wavelengths and be able to adjust the y value of it.

I'm also having this error occur when I apply the grasshopper file to the curve.

I managed to get your script to work. Thank you. I am now trying to figure out how to extract points from the curve, so that I can reverse this sine wave points, and place them at 'x' height above.

I've messed up my brick script.

Thanks, this worked.

I tried to reverse the wavelengths the same way I had with brick file, but I can't multiply or subtract. Is there another way to reverse the flow of the wavelength or get another wavelength?

@Tom Jankowski, this is beautiful. I'll attempt to apply it to my brick script and post back. Thanks.
