In this Paracourse lesson, we are going to model a wavy facade in Grasshopper. First, we are going to model the strips and then by using the curve attractor technique and some data management tricks we will model the louvers.

In this grasshopper example file you can model a parametric wall with a zero-waste technique.
In this grasshopper example file, you can model a tetrahedral mesh from a series of thickened curves.
In this grasshopper example file by defining a series of points you can create a pattern on a mesh based on the shortest path between two points.
In this Rhino Grasshopper Tutorial, you can model a series of twisting boxes by defining rectangular sections and then use the graph mapper to extract the non-linear distribution of the sections. In the end, you can extract the fabrication details needed and finally nest them on the ground.

Hi there! I have a question on making wavy facade on a looped surface (like the attached image) instead of a plane surface.
Since the attractor attracts all points at one direction (say either x or y-axis), how can I define the closest points go to the closest points??
Thank you!

Hi Angie
Please watch this tutorial for more info

For the distance, you can use the Geodesic component to find the shortest path on the surface and use the curve’s length for your rotation but be aware it’s a slow process
