Grasshopper 022 - Sunshades ( Parametric Kinetic Facade )

In this Grasshopper tutorial we will model the sunshades in another Type from simple way and different materials but a concept it's same . just you can do that via rhino and grasshopper by triangle grid and divide cell to Three parts , then creat point attractors like sun path and make influence with open and close these sunshades.
This is a kinetic facade which open against solar rays / time

Hey hi, great tutorial, loved it. How can we make the panels perforated with circular openings with remapped radius, so that the circles vary in sizes, the remapping part i know, but how can i have circles on the panels oriented along the plane of panel.

Hi! I have a facade with Octagonal polarized glass panels, can i use the same code to adjust the transparency? And if yes what i must change? Thank you very much

[@parastormlab4866]

[@imrekibwouhib1355]

Very useful thank you very much. Question how would I increase the number of points or portion of the facade which is affected by the movement of the sun in other words the point attractor.

Thanks so much for your comment and good question >> to do that just add a new MD sliders and connect its with Evaluate surface all together 😉 I hope i understand well >>>

This component has point3d function to create it onto surface and easy to change coordinates manually and with surface needs UV I think it’s easy to use
