Here are some images of the coconut chair (by George Nelson) and the Rhino modeled chair.
First attempt was through modeling a solid and using boolean (failed), and the second attempt was through making the planes through curves that extruded to a solid cap.
Unfortunately, the way I built the chair in Rhino does not allow me to manipulate in grasshopper (another fail)… Instead of rebuilding the Rhino model again, I will try to pick points and planes on the model through grasshopper and manipulate the following 5 design drivers:
1) extension of the three corners
2) amount of legs
3) width of the chair
4) height of the back of the chair
5) thickness of the chair

Ecotect issue

Ecotect issue

Hi,Ben
So, i download the installation of Geco, when i click it , it disappears. When i open the grasshopper file, it warns geco component is missing.

then i call my friend, he sent me the file “Geco.gha”, i drag it into the grasshopper directly. Then i have “Extra” on my top right bar in grasshopper. However i can not lunch the Ecotect Program even i turn the toggle to be true.
