PATTERNS: RHINO GRASSHOPPER TUTORIAL - FROM BOX

SERIES: FROM BOX

PATTERN: 01

an inspired version from

It is a nice flowy structure, of course not a box. Really?

This is the simplest concept sketch of the form. Finding the mid points followed by creating interpolate curves and then loft surface. The details of development is given below:

(1) Draw three control point curves

    - Direction along Y-axis

(2) Copy three curves in Z direction

(3) Prepare Bottom and Top curves

 - 1,2 & 3 to Bottom Curve

 - 4,5,& 6 to Top Curve

(4) Loft Surface

 - using default options

(5) Select the opposite edge curves

 - select the edges

 - select one of the opposite curves

 - orient the curves in same direction

(6) Create Geodesic Curves

 - Divide the curves

 - Create Geodesic Curves using loft surface

(7) Divide the Geodesic Curves

(8) Moving the points in x direction in half of the distance between the points in that direction

 - Each of the points are numbered 0, 1,2 & 4 of the curves

(9) Do it for the Top geodesic curves too

 - it look like this

(10) Create mid points between bottom and top points

(11) Flip the points

(12) Select the points alternatively

 - 1 & 3 will be selected

(13) Now we will have all the bottom, top and middle points

 - Now we have to work on the bottom and top points

(14) Flip the Bottom points and Cull it alternatively

 - do the same for top also

(15) Select the last branch from the cull tree of Bottom points

(16) Create interpolate Curve through points selected between Bottom and mid

 - select the mid points and remove the last branch

 - insert the mid points to bottom points

(17) Create interpolate Curve through points selected between Top and mid

 - select the mid points and remove the first branch

 - insert the mid points to top points

(18) Final Interpolate Curves

 - Bottom Curve

 - Top Curve

(19) Loft Surface

 - using default options

(20) Remove the last repeated surface

(21) Manipulate the control curves done at initial stage

(22) Modify the control division curves too

This is the final grasshopper structure:
