Designing in Grasshopper for Fabrication

1” squarestock steel is 16 ga, 0.065” wall thickness

1/2” x 4-1/4” Strong-Tie Wedge-All Anchors used to tie in to existing concrete, @4 anchors per plate. Base plates are 8” sq

Each pane of glass custom cut 1/8” tempered glass panels. Bored holes at midpoints are connected with thru/bolts to steel tabs. Glass bolts are lock nuts and 1/4, 20’s with doubled up soft washers

Dims and Materials:

Length: 39’

Highest point: 8’

Max depth: 6’

Base rises just 8” above feet

Frame out of 1” squarestock steel, with a wall thickness of 0.035”, and a weight of o.453#/ft (ASTM A513) welded base plates and tabbed connections for bolts are out of 16ga steel benches of 1.5” milled solid oak PS, notched to fit over squarestock and linked with thru bolts (0.5” diameter) gapped with plastic washers

BASE: 4 lines arrayed. Each curve divided, every other curve divided into one fewer units than the prior. Different sized spheres generated on alternating line sets Roughly 1.45:1::A:B ratio.

CONSTRUCT JOINTS: Two tangent arcs constructed between sphere sets, third tangent arc provides enough points to construct sweep2 rails and section

CONSTRUCT VOIDS/ PORTALS: two cylinder sets developed, for A and B sets on origin axis. A cylinders have a radius of (A sphere radius)-(B sphere radius)

B cylinders are 2/3(B sphere radius)

SPLIT, SORT, JOIN SELECTED GEOMETRY: Swept surfaces and cylinders used to split base spheres, resulting base spheres and swept surfaces are joined, The result is then split by a plane constructed at the middle z of a bounding box.
