Adaptive Live Truss Using Grasshopper Cluster Definition

A live parametric "grasshopper cluster component" representing all the structural components of a structural truss including, the top chord, lower chord, vertical web and diagonal web is defined. The Cluster is self adapting to any free-form geometric curve representing the top chord of a truss. The cluster is defined using path mapping of data trees in grasshopper. Once the cluster has been defined, it may be instantiated any number of times, on any free-form geometry. Three inputs define the truss of the cluster 1) The top chord Geometry 2) The depth of the truss 3) The number of subdivsions of the truss.
