Drawing trapezoidal profiles
- [Instructor] In the last video we looked at doing some sorting operations in our data flow to match up all of these profile edges and corners to draw our trapezoidal shelf profiles and at this point we're just about ready to merge those all together into continuous shapes. In Grasshopper, I can go ahead and get rid of this panel. We don't need that anymore. And let's just do a little bit of grouping here. So I'm going to grab this series, move that up, and just click and drag all those components that I created in the last couple videos, group those together, and let's give this a title. So here we are sorting out the corresponding profile edges and diagonals. And again, what's coming out of that merge component are a bunch of paths each with the four edge lines that make up each trapezoidal profile. So we're going to feed that into a join curves component and what that should give us is, in this case, seven individual trapezoidal shapes and if I bake this by right clicking and…
