Roof panel clusters
From the course: Grasshopper: Generative Design for Architecture
Roof panel clusters
- I have my exercise file open already. We're in the process of implementing our general design model. We've set up our site, our sinewave, our roof surface. We've set up sides, views, and calculated fitness. And then optimized the roof's form based on the views. We've laid out our structure, and now we're going to set up some roof paneling. The roof paneling logic in some ways will be very similar to the structural layout. So let's copy this cluster. And then explode it. As a reminder, this cluster is using that surface to generate a voronoi pattern that's evenly spaced using machine-learning clustering. For the roof paneling though we want much smaller panels. So I'm going to adjust the number of clusters from 6, to 200. And you see you get a very different result. We still get an even spacing and a voronoi pattern, but now it's a little more flexible and responsive to the form of the surface. One of the things in the initial requirements for the project though, was to differentiate…
