Fig.1 : RHINO MODELLING OF THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE SAILS
The sails were modelled by lofting a series of tirangles in Grasshopper. Adding control points allowed the creation of a curved triangle tip however there were some issues when dealing with the ‘rebuild’ command in Rhino- the straight edges became curved.
