Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Kansai International Airport Terminal

 

Hi guys!

So... I'm doing this case study of Kansai Airport...

I've been able to build it almost without new learning process, but something came up, and I'm not finding any solution.. I've tried everything I learned (wich is a few, since I'm new to grasshopper)

 

Anyway, look at the picture, and the printscreen I took...

Its the big pannel of glass with double arc trusses, inside and outside of the building.

 

In the FRONT view we can see lines in the X vector with the same length.. its the key point that is wrong.. it should have a variable length (small -medium -big -medium -small), in a way that a polyline in the end points would look like an arc.

 

Suggestion? Solutions?

 

I'm planning on do a video tutorial later on form the whole making of.. any help will be mantioned =)

 

Thanks!

Can you draw the effect you are looking for over the top of the screen shot?

The end of the lines in the X vector should be touching the blue arc I draw... see, variable length..

dude, you solved it so easily! haha

 

I see what you did, but don't understand all of it... I'll try to study more..

Its all about math?

It's all about path/data management
