Hi everyone! Thanks for having accepted me into this group.
Currently I’m designing a roof that uses the style of the architect Felix Candela (composed of curved surfaces known as hyperbolic paraboloids).
In the 1st image, you can see that the roof is formed by four segments (each segment is an individual family that I have rotated and copied, however, I need to create the four segments forming part of a single family).
The 2nd image shows how each segment is obtained by doing substractions to a hyperbolic paraboloid (highlighted in blue), using Void Form Elements (highlighted in orange). The 3rd image shows the result of this operation.
The 4th image show how I rotated and copied that segment in order to obtain the second segment of the roof.
The problem is that I haven’t been able to repeat the process in order to obtain a whole roof composed of four segments *that form part of a single family*. When I try to rotate and copy the first two segments, in order to obtain the other two that are missing, the Void Form elements become unlinked to their respective paraboloids, and thus the substraction operations aren’t performed in the new segments (5th and 6th images).
How could I make the Void Form Elements stay linked to their respective paraboloids? Do you know another method, easier and simpler than the one I’m currently using, for obtaining the roof of the first image? Perhaps Dynamo could offer an easier way to achieve this?
Here you can download the file I’m using.
Thanks for your time!
