[Grasshopper] How to create Multipipe frames from any model [Data download available]

In this article, we will introduce How to create Multipipe frames from any model in Grasshopper.

Model Images

The top three images are from Grasshopper.

The image above shows the final rendering.

Due to the amount of programming, we will not provide a detailed explanation at this time.

Therefore, we recommend that you look at the video, the Grasshopper recipe images placed below or download the data to check it out.

Model Preparation

To run this program, an arbitrary model must be created on Rhinoceros and converted to a mesh consisting of a 4-sided face.

Therefore, any model should be created as a polysurface or Subd model.

For this example, we will use the polysurface in the image above.

Type QuadRemesh in the command as shown in the image above.

Select a model.

Specify the number of meshes and click OK.

Then, as shown in the image above, we were able to convert it to a mesh consisting of 4-sided faces.

To use this program, set the model in Mesh on Grasshopper.

Right click on Mesh and select “Set one Mesh”.

Select the model.

The model can then be set in Mesh and the program can be used this time.

That is all for this time.
