Setting up spline height controls

“

- [Instructor] In the last video we did some work to locate the corners of our spline profiles, and that'll help us as we work towards our goal here of drawing out those rectangular spline profiles. So we'll continue with that here and add in some more fine tune controls. In Grasshopper I've got the file locate-corners-end.gh open. And in Rhino I just have a blank Rhino file, and I've opened that using the template for small objects in centimeters, but you can use whatever units you'd like. So just to review a little bit here, we're using the evaluate length component to draw out pairs of points along each of those offset lines going out from the corner lines of our Voronoi cell pattern. And we added in a slider to be able to adjust the height so the distance between those points will then become the height of each spline. Now one thing I notice here is that, if I'm imagining a rectangle being drawn out here, that eventually will become a pocket out of the material that we use to…
