Sketchbook: Week One.

Step 1: Create curves.

PART 1.

Step 3: put curves into Grasshopper.

Step 4: loft them in Grasshopper. Step 6: bake surface.

Step 5: use F10 to turn on control points and modify surface.

Step 2: loft curves in Rhino and see that when moving control points, the surface does not move with it.

PART 2.

Step 1: Delaynay Triangulation (random points).

Step 3: Using the Hexagonal Grid.

Step 4: Using the Triangular Grid.

Step 7: OcTree

Step 6: 3D Voronoi and Bake out

Step 5: MateBall.Step 2: Voronoi (random points).

Sketchbook: Week Two.

1. Vector Fundamentals.A vector defines magnitude and direction, a point defines position and a plane defines orientation.

2. Understanding Geometry Transformations and Intersections.

Step 1: setting the magnitude of a vector.

Step 3: create a plane with a chosen point as the origin. 3. Curve menu.

Step 2: meshing geometry.

Step 1: closing two curves.

Step 2: points on polyline.

Step 3: dividing polyline into triangulated chunks.

Step 5: planar surface.

Step 4: offsetting multiple curves and setting a plane so they all offset on the same side

I was unable to get this to work.

Step 2: setting an axis along which the vector lies and sets its magnitude.

Step 4: adding vectors together.

Step 1: creating a mesh surface.

Step 6: evaluate a curve, so that the end is 0 and the other end is 1.

Step 7: divide curve into segments.

Step 8: creating an arc between points, dividing arc into specific segments.

Step 9: interpolate or fitting nurbs curves exactly through a list of points.

Step 10: poly line is straight line segments through the points.

Step 11: geodesic; I don’t understand, doesn’t work for me.

Prototyping

1:2 model of tubular solar panelGlow stick structure for nighttime visualization and central hub connection

3D printing a single hub in plastic - structure failed as too thin, unable to remove supporting structure without breaking the model - too fragile

CNC router for bath visualization, card cutter for people - single pod was supposed to fit over the baths but we could not print it
