This definition divides a given surface and flattens each quad section to be unrolled to a grid on the xy plane. Once unrolled each face is then flattened and given tabs for reconstruction. Labels are provided.

THIS IS CURRENTLY A BETA VERSION AND IS NOT FULLY DEVELOPED, CHECK BACK FOR A FINAL VERSION.

This definition is a compilation of three major executions. The first is to create a randomly generated pattern based on input parameters. The second is to flow the generated pattern over any given input surface, a command that does not exist yet in grasshopper. The last command splits the given input surface using the gerated pattern and…

This definition creates a parametric hyperbolic paraboloid surface at any given point in space. The variables allow for complete control over the maximum and minimum values for X and Y Axis. The Z axis is controlled by the given formula for a hyperbolic paraboloid. The definition allows for a variable level of accuracy to the mathematically true…

This definition takes any curved surface and populates it with a gradient of circles. The gradient is driven by a pixel sampling of any given image. For best effects, the surface size in inches should equal the image…

This definition takes any given surface and divides it into a given number of cells, each of which recieves a circle with variable radius. An attractor curve is used to drive this radius by…
