The points can be controlled by a set of sliders that allow translation along any of the orthographic axes, ultimately driving the shape of each interpolated curve that passes through the control points. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51c6f9f3e4b0e47ad1bbc71c/1377631832565-HZDNVMVRQ2BRQRWUQQF3/Step2.jpg Blog - FLUX PARAMETRICS STEP 2: A set of planes are created at 10½” O.C. along the full length of the curve network. The distance between each plane, which controls the spacing between each rib, can be updated by changing a numeric slider. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51c6f9f3e4b0e47ad1bbc71c/1377631849886-QUI21OJD9PT0UJNT2ACT/Step3.jpg Blog - FLUX PARAMETRICS STEP 3: Because some of the interpolated lines in the curve network do not run the full length of the nave, but instead branch off of the two main lines, the topology of the curves would yeild an unloftable surface. However, the software can solve the intersection between a plane and a curve which results in a point. A line can be created between each new intersection point to form the outlines of each rib. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51c6f9f3e4b0e47ad1bbc71c/1377631873941-OT7LODIVCEWJ9N11JLA0/Step4.jpg Blog - FLUX PARAMETRICS STEP 4: The outside rib curves are offset 4” to create the inside of each rib curve. The ribs are then split into four modules for easier installation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51c6f9f3e4b0e47ad1bbc71c/1377631885620-IANI5KQCOXPTN5EJ0BKB/Step5.jpg Blog - FLUX PARAMETRICS STEP 5: Each rib set is then re-oriented to the XY plane to facilitate the CNC milling process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51c6f9f3e4b0e47ad1bbc71c/1377631913191-VMB4CEFCZHUAB5VT30XB/Step6.jpg Blog - FLUX PARAMETRICS STEP 6: Once the rib curves have been flattened, the outlines can be offset and subdivided to create a series of notches in the ribs and the corresponding tabs on each side of the plexiglass panels. The software evaluates the length of each piece of plexiglass and determines the number of subdivisions on each side, so that longer panels have more tabs and thus more support than smaller pieces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51c6f9f3e4b0e47ad1bbc71c/1377631927278-QKKF67A2EY66ELA40AGY/Step7.jpg Blog - FLUX PARAMETRICS STEP 7: A detail view of a flattened rib and the corresponding pleixglass panels. The perforations that occur in some of the panels are created in Rhinoscript and are coordinated with one of the eight architectural topics represented in the exhibition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51c6f9f3e4b0e47ad1bbc71c/1377631955991-1JM59H1XIJNIRXA3VF5H/Grasshopper_FLUX_large.jpg Blog - FLUX PARAMETRICS A screenshot of the final definition used to create the entire FLUX exhibition.

This is the only step that is required prior to launching Grasshopper and running the definition.

It is important that the point grid is created above the surface (z-axis).

Next, a vertical line is created between the original point grid and the duplicates.

A new line is then created from the new intersection points and the original point grid created in Step 2.

A text tag is placed at the midpoint of each line similar to: "Panel1_Lid1 72.000". The distance is measured in inches and rounds the length of the line to the nearest one thousandth. All text tags must be baked into the scene in order to export the data to excel. (special thanks to Troy Zezula for collaborating on this part of the script).

The use the "Run Script" command and select the loaded rhinoscript from the menu. Follow the on screen directions in the command prompt and select all of the text tags. Excel will automatically open, and a new file will be created with the panel labels and lengths organized for easy access. Within Excel you can convert the length stored from Rhino (rounded to the nearest one thousandth) into a more managable dimension using feet and inches and a specified tolerance.
