113 Applied Architecture Design Studio I, Spring 2011, M/WF 2:00-5:00 Instructors: Skylar Tibbits, Nick Gelpi Teaching Assistants: Joshua Cotton, Sasa Zivkovic Grasshopper tutorial | Surfaces Surface subdivision using SDivide component 01 | Create curves in Rhino and loft them in Grasshopper. Use the SurfaceDivide component to extract points. 02 | Create a simple geometry based on point input (sphere, box, etc.) 03 | Evaluate curvature of your initial curves at either x,y or z coordinate of your lofted surface 04 | Scale spheres (boxes, cylinders, etc.) based on curvature evaluation output / spheres adjust to surface geometry

This can be used to extract four branches of point information] 01 | Create lofted surface in Grasshopper and divide into small pieces using SubSrf 02 | Extract edge curves (Wires / Wireframe Brep) 03 | Split edge curves up to retrieve data trees for each edge of the subdivided surface (item set integer: 0, 1, 2, 3) 04 | Extract end points of lines 05 | Create a connection pattern 06 | Copy initial curves > divide surface > get center point > use center point to create cross-connections between surfaces 07 | Pipe lines to give thickness
