Post your definition.

here is my definition. My trouble is when I increase the list item slider to 3 (which is the error message). After I work that out I intend to create a primitive sphere in rhino and use that surface in the definition, and then extrude the curves generated from cull pattern curves.

Thank you Dedackelzucht and Mateusz Zwierzycki so much. 

 

Although Mateusz Zwierzycki, I have a few questions about the definition, like I said, I am new.

1. For the list item following the weave, there is a rotation icon on "L" item generic data, and I am not sure how to get this icon.

2. Under the generic data component that connects to the A/B division and series component. Again not sure what data I need to input.

 

Thank you both for replying, I really appreciate it.

1. this icon is reverse (right click on input L). this vould be achieved also with reverse list component. 

 

2. data in input A is 2*pi (for rotation angle)

ok thanks again, and i appreciate your time, I took your advice and made the corrections, and i received and had to add a reverse list component and unfortunately, another error runtime message on both lofts indicating insufficient valid  profile curves. I am attaching my def. and rhino file is you could take a look at them and maybe determine what is wrong with my files. Again, thank you so much. 

 

 

Thank you

-Jeremy

Hey,

 

two things to change:

1. After the flipmatrix: First item with i=0, secound item with  i=1 third item with i=0 and fourth item with i=1

2. flatten the outputs of the line component and the polyline component before lofting
