Trim lines and bevel geometry

Ι want to trim and then make loft from lines that i exploded from a surface...in other words I want to make a geometry like this in the jpeg,in every subsurface that I have made.Inside the zip file I have the jpeg ,the gh and the rhino file.any help?

thanks alot!

I don't get where on your geometry you want to apply the bevel to...

Sorry, did't see that. Some questions to determine the way to go:

a) Do you need to rebuild the loft or do you acually want to use the curved surface but didn't get it to work any other way?

b) do the bevels have to have an absolute height and edge width? (or will a relative measure do)

c) does the hole need to be exactly circular? (or is this more like a decorative element?)

If your answers to b and c are "no", you should try do find some examples for SurfaceBox and BoxMorph. Once you get the concept, things will get real simple. Otherwise things will get a little more complex.

a)I want to us the curved surface for this

b)yes and

c)yes

thank you for your reply:)

For a curved network of lines, offset will give no useful results. You will need to move and scale the border and individually loft between original and bevel border.

...that's too complex to get my head around at this time of day... maybe later or someone else will pick up.

not exactly ,I want this extraction in the other way,but you almost made it! thank you.I have

a question:I made this on the curved surface but it looks like this geometry is orthographic.why is this happening?

You rebuilt the curved surface with only two CPs. That will effectively make the surface flat.

If you'd like to cover a double-curved surface with these panels, you'll have to get a planar quad approximation of that surface, i guess... try this thread: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/how-to-create-a-quadrilat...

Here's what Angel proposed in that discussion:

This is the easiest way, i think.

thanks a lot,I think that the part till the subsurfaces,right after the srf4pt component,it's a lot easier to handle with pythonscript.you made a beautiful work,thank you again!

one last question:why did this not work with my curves?i just adjusted 2 curves in the front of definition but it turned red some components..

Can you post the definition?
