Experimenting with Digital Project

Below, is a series of 4 splines that divide the plan into 5 bays. Along the left and right edges are a series of circles connected to certain lines by coincidence. The circle in the upper left hand and lower right hand circles are set to a function so that their radii are always equal. Thus, the screenshots below reveal how this transformation takes place when changing the radius of the two circles to a larger or smaller number.


















Below are examples of the transformations with various radii. It seems that the systems limits, before lines begin to cross over are: f (r): 17.00 ≥ r ≥ 7.75











Below, is when the structure begins to push in a third dimension. Each of the three types of arcs shown are constructed in a different manner.













Once connecting the three types of arcs with a spline, a plane can be created. The cutting elements are showing below as well.








For some reason, the limits for the radii to create a surface, was different than over-mutation of the original 5 bay grid. Anything less than r=12, resulted in digital projects not being able to produce a surface.
