eat-a-bug: Developable Surface Modelling

Tuesday, 30 March 2010

A grasshopper definition for developable surface strips. Download here. Mårten Nettelbladt gives a nice description of developable surface types.

Is there always just ONE solution for a specified rotation?
Is this using the PQ method?; May 18, 2010
Lorenz Lachauer said...: Marten, the rotation parameter controls the rotation of the first short edge around the defing curve. As long as you are not changing the grasshopper graph box, there is only one solution. The Method works as follows: neighbouring straight lines always intersect in a point, if you elongate them -> the surface between them is part of a triangle -> the surface is flat.; May 19, 2010
Anonymous said...: Great Script! Just make sure to change the "N" value for PFrames or else it can't calculate.; October 16, 2013
Unknown said...: Hi, I am having problem with the script, what it does only generate points and pframes without the surface.
Could you help me on this?; November 16, 2013
