In this video, I'd like to make the extrusions that will represent the actual frets, so we'll some extruded cylinders that sit along those lines and that are the same length as the instrument's wooden top. So, in Rhino I'm working on the file instrument-setup.3dm and in Grasshopper I've got the file 0050-instrument-fret-tracks.gh and we'll work on adding this step to make the fret extrusions. So, looking at our current design, you can see I've got the wooden top here, that's the smaller rectangle, then I've got the fret tracks above it and below it. So, what I'd like to make is a line whose left side is in line with the left side of the wooden top and whose right side is in line with the…
