Surface between hexagon and cirle

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a surface between an hexagon and a circle with grasshopper: the circle (obtained with the circle CNR) is centered in the middle of the hexagon but they are not complanar... Any ideas? Loft doesn't work because says that there are insufficient valid profile curves...

without a definition to look at i would guess this is a data *structure problem, and you need to graft the circles and the hexagons before lofting them.

edit *matching like Danny said

Something like this:

Oh second thoughts I think your issue is data matching. The two curves you want to loft don't site at the same level on the tree structure.

wow, you're very fast! Thanks to all!!! I'm trying with the method described in the image, but I can't find the command 0,5, I don't remember where it is (I know it is from 0 to 1)

Its called "point on curve".

as used here it is finding the mid point. This can also be done with Evaluate Curve and Evaluate Length

I also noticed I haven't specified which curve goes where. The top one is the Hexagon and the bottom one is the Circle

Mine is failing in the loft component (don't know why) try it on your surfaces

Also in future it would help if you internalise all your referenced objects from Rhino

Yeah, it works!!! :D there are two levels, the upper and the lower, each with hexagon and circles, you have wrong to connect the lower hexagon with the upper circles :D
