Grasshopper script for image generated in Rhino.
Since this utilizes the MetaHopper plugin like the 2D model, the y-values of the 3D model are similarly constrained. The relation of the y-values as each one is changed is demonstrated in this video. Note how the sections cannot overlap and the overall height remains the same as the maximum y-value is held constant.
Components used:
- Edge Surface - Convert lines forming edges of leg to surface
- Merge - Combine surfaces into one surface spanning the entire leg
- Amplitude - Set thickness of extruded leg
- Extrude - Extrude the leg (ie transform 2D shape into 3D)
