Reciprocal Structure Unsupported Member

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on/ studying reciprocal structures. I'm trying to develop this script to fabricate reciprocal stick models using no connection method, just the sticks/pipes resting on each other.

The problem is when I run the Kangaroo engine, there are some issues with the layering of the pipes. As you can see in the image, the green pipe is supported, however the red pipe isn't. This would be okay if I was planning to implement some sort of connection, but because I am working on creating a structure where they just rest on each other, this is no good. 

Any help or insight on this would be great,

thanks!!!
