How do you want to control the waves? Is it a surface function of (u,v), or do you want to trim the ceiling with a hand-made surface, or...?

it must be something like that, can you open it? but the problem is that i can't put them in the right place, where i want to have it. so maybe you know how i can change the point of origin? and it is also proportionaly wrong.. i think it is a surface function but i don't be sure.. thx!!!

That picture was zoomed out and didn't really tell me anything other than that you're using an old version of Grasshopper.

I attached a file which generates a wavy surface from an equation and a point-grid. This surface is then used to project top line curves onto. However since you are using an old version of GH I'm not sure whether you'll be able to open the file.

That's the linear array component. You can create a series of movement vectors using the [Series] or [Range] component instead and then create your array by moving an object along all those vectors.

This is another way for free-form waved structure......
