algorithmic modeling for Rhino

smoothing nodes

Hi all,

 

I need help smoothing a big amount of nodes like this one.(4 and 5 directions..) I want just one single smooth surface. (All at once, not modelling with tsplines one by one..)

 

I tried to convert it into one single mesh and then use weaverbird but its difficult. ( spheres, booleans etc..)

 

I think this is the key point. Convert this pipes into meshes and then merge them withweaverbird or tsplines. The problem are the booleans..

 

Any idea?

 

Cheers!!

I had not forgotten about the Glass/Weatherstripping, and the pain of replacing a broken pane. :)  After the Dome is constructed the Glass or acrylic panes would rest on top of the Universal joint with an H shaped gasket (glass to glass) and a Universal cover screwed thought the Universal joint holding the panes in place.

Its now no longer your average backyard Playdome :)

Hi Martyn,

It wasn't a nightmare, but neither was it a breeze ;-)

Here's the timelapse:

3D printing made sense in our case because each node was unique.

In your case some kind of mould seems much more adequate.

That's awesome! Looks pretty solid too!
