GH: GRAPH TOWER

GRASSHOPPER GRAPH TOWER


This definition uses graph values to scale and rotate polygons to make towers 

LOGIC
1. Define a curve / poly line starting at the bottom of the tower 
2. Define slab shape
2. Use graphs to manipulate slab scaling data
3. Use graphs to manipulate slab rotation data
4. Create slab thicknesses
5. Loft slabs  for facade surface

GH Version
0.8.0066


Tip
Start curve at the bottom of the tower. Use different graph times 
for different results. For slab shape you can also use a custom 
shape by referencing a curve rather than using the polygon component. 
The "slabs" don't necessarily need to be liter slabs, they can just be 
guides to your building shape than you can cut slabs with the contour 
component. Go further and create the facade maybe via box morphing.

  1. Thanks. I especially like the way you write a logic (goal might be also helpful) before really going into programming. Again, hope to see more elegant works from you! Cheers!

  2. I can't read a thing!
    Can you upload the definition or a larger resolution image please?
