TRIANGULATION

This week’s task was indeed a challenge in trying to understand the videos thoroughly. As simple as lofting and using the voronoi is, I still find it hard to utilize these components to express ideas. Instead, I found myself experimenting with techniques such as rebuild, and plugins such as firefly to drive the design of my workstation.

I was fortunate that by the end of it, i was able to come up with something plausible, though I feel that using Grasshopper more will allow me to further understand and utilize the programme.

Though this weeks tutorials were easier to understand now that I am slightly more familiar with the programme, towards the end, though my process was the same, I found myself getting different outcomes.

This tutorial, I was not able to get the offset line above the brep. Instead it forms underneath. Also, a surface would not form when I loft the two lines together.

In this video tutorial, I was not able to get the average point of the planes in order to cut off the top. Instead the averages would lie in the same plane as the existing surfaces.
