Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Cant seem to make a pipe with intermediary different size cross sections...

Hello all,

In Rhino I picked the pipe tool, and made a pipe shape with multiple cross sections. Then I tried to do the same with Grasshopper - but to my surprise there was no options for the intermediary circles.

Here I am posting a Jpeg of the shape I am trying to achieve... and the Rhino and Grasshopper files...

As you can see my version is messy and still couldnt achieve the right look.

If anyone could help I would most appreciate it...

I also found a similar post:

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/pipe-multiple-diameters

but there was no straight answers... Someone did a workaround but I was not able to tell the names of the components because there were pictures instead of names on the components...

I am a new to Rhino and Grasshopper - thanking you again...

You just need to add more frames and section curves.

There is a new component called VPipe that makes this easier.

Thank you both for your help,

Let me fire up Rhino and take a close look...

Thanks again...

Hi Guys, is anyone having an issue where Vpipe is making many duplications of the of the pipe except with slightly different lengths
