Finishing spatial truss

Hello,

I am still not very fit in Grasshopper... I am trying to define a spatial truss and my problem is that the lower series of point can not be closed.

I have defined three groups:

First, very small, at the beginning, change the number of modules of the spatial truss

Second, the big, is the whole definition for the lower points and its connections (future pipes)

Third, at the end I get the lines i want and the lines I don't want... the thing is, that something fails and I don´t have all (it is opened in one side).

Should I add in the command "Merge" a new definition that take all that points together (each X point) and make a line or there is a smarter solution to close the lines?

Thank you very much,

Daniel Domenech

I don't have Karamba installed ... thus a guess: By "spatial" truss you mean something like this?

yeah, but I'm trying to draw it in grasshopper (the Karamba applications are for later). My problem is, that I can have all the "red lines" (in your photo). I haven´t a entire line, and that's due to my grasshopper definition.

Do you now what i mean?

Thx :)

Er ... hmm ... dare I say that I have a "remote" idea, he he > get this and make any (mild, wild, paranoid, random, mixed) truss on any given list of open/closed surface(s). Note: in this "reduced" build it doesn't take into account the potential trim info per surface (Breps, that is).

Ugly news: you tell me

Bad news: it's solely C# code.

Good news: so what?

best, Peter
