algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Light Weight Roof - Surface Triangulation - Part 2/3

turning the previously generated large surface in smaller subsurfaces.

some conditions:
-each subsurface (the "curved pizza slices") itself should consist of randomly arranged triangular panels
these panels are supported by a grid of thin steel beams, which themselves rest on larger curved steel pipes (the catenary dome ribs as seen in part 1/2)
- no duplicate ridge pipes
- no duplicate nodes

the script is executed roundwise (step-by-step) using hoopsnake, to ensure system stability (heavy computation)

Hi Benjamin. Saw your reply at vimeo. Thank you.
Of what material will these catenary domes be made of?
