Need some quick help with a definition I have found online.

Hello! I sometimes download definitions here at this forum and on blogs and such. Now I have a definition that I really need for a project I am working on at school. The problem is that I don't find any author name or anything in the grasshopper file and when I try google the thing that the script does I don't find anything either, neither do I found something on the grasshopper forum!

Anyhow. The definition creates a series of fins from a surface and in the end lofts them together. The problem with the definition is that the "loft" component fails and turns red and since I don't have much experience with grasshopper I am lost to how to fix it. And lofting the curves manually is kind of hard as they are to many and to close (so the problem is trying to find the 2 curves that goes together hehe)

so if anyone could give me some quick help I would really appreciate it! For someone who knows the program better than me it is probably a 10 second fix!

thank you for your help!

And if the guy who made the script sees this I would really appreciate to get your name so I can give you the credits on my presentation!

With regards

Isak

it turns red, because you have two grafts with only one curve (in this example (9,10)). you can not loft one curve

Do you mean that 2 "gills" share the same curve? Because it looks alright up to the mergepart and the grasshopper geometry looks alright :(

Is there an easy way to fix it?

the new grasshopper version ignore this default and loft the others. (see on my picture). Which version do you use?

Dear Isak,

I don't think you need to fix it. you got what you need from this definition, right?

yeah your right it worked now! Strangley it didn't work yesterday, maybe my surface or something that was at fault! Thank you anyway for your help both of you!

it's ok> good luck with your presentation.. by the way if you flatten your list of curves, you are getting the same effect on the surface without the gaps between the stripes (and without having a "red" loft component :))

try it out...

Then maybe that was whats wrong, I had the 8.0002 version when I tried this definition, then I upgraded to the latest last night and haven't tried it with the latest version of grasshopper :)

this way it should work in older versions as well
