Shell Fabrication

Hello!

My final is coming up, I am looking to make this model, in the attached 3dm file, out of bent tubular wooden rods and tie them wiht string to keep them together.

In the 3dm file, I have multiple shells, as I have been testing the tesselation, but I do not know how to build it.

Could someone take a look at the model and recommend a strategy for making it easy to build?

thanks! Anything helps!

Ok I've been working on modelling my shell as one complete surface, I simply swapped out the surface in the rhino example with the GH example and it froze, are there tutorials on how to use this? I suppose you learned how to do it somehow.

Thanks for the quick response, I'm still new to understanding the little things in grasshopper.
