Jehs-Laub Lounge: Grasshopper Final Version

I’ve been struggling with the screen recordings, so here’s a low-tech version of my parameters in action:

JL_Presentation.006

I created the curves for the chair by referencing points from Rhino. I selected the top 3 points and connected a slider to them to change the x and z coordinates.

JL_Presentation.007

The bounding boxes that are referencing the geometry (“cushions”) onto the surface can change height by a number slider.

JL_Presentation.008

Those same bounding boxes can also be controlled by an attractor point, moving on the surface.

JL_Presentation.009

“Cushions” can change size in length….

JL_Presentation.010

…and in width. The original chair is a 3×5 grid.

This is the original Jehs-Laub Lounge chair made in Grasshopper:

JL_Presentation.011

These are my 5 design proposals, including the Grasshopper parameters I used for each one:

JL_Presentation.012 JL_Presentation.013 JL_Presentation.014 JL_Presentation.015 JL_Presentation.016

Progress!

So I’m very excited because I feel like I accomplished two goals: create the form I want, and to create the same form in Grasshopper. I was able to successfully use Network Surface in both Rhino and Grasshopper in order to make my surface. Network Surface

I did as Ben suggested and used a plane over my model that I used as a reference. I was then able to create the network surface without any problems..

Chair

I was supper happy with this! Although yes, the metal mesh is still missing and currently the grid is in the wrong direction…….. BUT STILL, PROGRESS.

Grasshopper Attempt 4

I was then able to successfully repeat the network surface command in Grasshopper… However, including not be able to do the pipe command, I also can’t seem to find information on Trimming in Grasshopper………….. HELP.
