Hello,

there are many ways to thicken a curve network, I can propose my way.

http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/thicken-a-network-of-line...

As Mohamed said it is always best to give a script, if you don't want to give everything give some part with internalized data ... A general thing is also that there are many good way to search on internet, google image is a good way, search with key word like grasshopper, thicken, ...

Here I did a sort of diagrid on a vase, but whatever, the script need lines and a surface to calculate nomals.

I chose a rectangular section.

I apply it, OK I didn't give to much explanations.

The script needs lines to make a network. The lines must have an orientation of the axe/roll on each of the node (lines intersection), because sections are not always round (here square).

I put a dam in order to make the calculation just when you want.

There are some problem on the top surely due to orientations. This surely could be fixed, but not tonight.

With more lines it could be more curvy.

I can explain more, if needed.
