Pneumatic Panels “Revised” [rhinoscript]
Toni Österlund an architecture student at University of Oulu (Finland) ,revised my code and made some improvements,the script now supports non planar polygons for creating the cushion cladding system, the problem that the code originally had, was that I used a “planar surface” command to create the primary surface to extract the centroid point ,needed to create the cushion surfaces , these new version instead uses a “patch” command , that makes possible working with non planar polygons, the whole code has also been cleaned up and simplified.
I also included here a simple Grasshopper definition that creates a honeycomb cladding which can be used to create the polygons for the panels, just one of the many tools you can use for design testing and integration into your workflow.
Have fun and don´t forget to send your feed back.
NOTE:The script is for the free domain feel free to use it and modify it for your personal research and educational purposes, For implementation in commercial projects you should notify the respective authors (that would be me and Toni )
