Twisting of weaved planks

Hi all! I've been working on a structure which uses weaving pattern and I have encountered 2 issues:

1) my planks are splitting at the end (see jpg for reference)

2) they are not twisting along my surface.

Could you please explain why I am quite new to GH ;)

Any help is much appreciate,

Cheers

Nat

Hi Natalia

Not sure what the included VB does: is it aiming to "weave" vectors? Anyway I'm working for something similar these days (related with tensegrity trusses). Give it a try.

Thank you for your help! I am changing the strategy in my project so probably I won't need weaved pattern to be rectangular.

You mean a rectangular section? (if not what means "rectangular pattern"?).

Anyway ... see some screenshots (V3 on duty) from a thickened Brep (half width = half thickness).

Hi,

Your script is amazing! I might use some principles of it, and yes I meant exactly that by rectangular section. My project changed a little now and I am more into aggregating panels which I have weaved into certain shapes.

Thank you for help!!

Best,

Natalia

Hi Natalia

Get the V3 that works with Lists (any open, closed in U/V or closed in both directions surface).

Since GH can't always memorize (internalize) items ... on the safe side load R file first (for the demos).

NOTE: Trimmed surfaces (with holes etc) are NOT yet supported.
