Spatial Truss (WIP): Knot selection

Knot selection routine completed.

Now, we can select each Top Knot by its Index Number and all lines arriving at it, for fabrication purposes.

Also, this will be usefull when the time come to bake geometry of a very large spatial truss.

We'll be able to bake knots one by one, avoiding the burden of baking hundreds of knots at once...

Next:

1. Do the same for the Base Knots

2. Do the same for each bar

3. Diagonal…

Spatial Truss (WIP) next

Next steps:

1. Make each Apex height a function of the medium of Base Trusses.
2. Finish the Select/Bake mechanism for each knot: Each knot should be selectable together all lines arriving at it, for knot fabrication.

Spatial Truss (WIP)

As part of an ongoing research on parametrics, this definition is our first attempt to understand the solution to an old problem in spatial structures.

Here it goes: Tetra.Tesselation.07.ghx

What it does: from a set of curves (might be splines, straight lines or closed plines or splines) it generates a lofted surface, subdivides it into an U&V grid and constructs a spatial…

I am using Rhino 4.0 SR8, I tried to open your .gsx file using both Grasshopper 0.8 Revision 01 and 0.7 Revision 57, but in both cases I got the same upper message.

Where am I wrong?
