Sorting profile edges
- [Instructor] In the last video we did some work towards our goal of drawing trapezoidal panel profiles. And what we did was to separate out the corner lines as well as the interior and the exterior lines as individual lines and not joined polycurves. So in this video what we need to do is join those up together into their corresponding trapezoid edge neighbors. Before we go any further in Grasshopper I'd like to make one little change to our input. And that is to switch out from our dynamic cell pattern where we're looking at a big group of Voronoi cells to just one individual cell. So I'm going to take this output coming out of the static cell pattern group and plug it into our input. So now we're just looking at one cell at a time, and this will just make things a little bit simpler to think through as we work on the rest of this definition. So looking at this cell, I can see I have several different trapezoidal shapes, one corresponding to each edge. And what I need to do is to…
