Grid Beam in Rhino3D/Grasshopper

I’ve been working on a way to generate grid beams so that I can more quickly and accurately come up with designs in Rhino. So I made a Grasshopper script to generate the beams.

Happy to share the grasshopper file so you can make your own. Not sure the best way to share it here, If anyone has advice I’m open to it.

I wonder if the structure of the design could be defined by lines and then a gh script to convert those lines to beams…

I was trying to do grasshopper timber joints a while back and made beams from lines - the script is in this thread.

just a random thought…

Whoa this is super interesting. I’m amazed at all the good info people were sharing with you as you worked through that problem.

My only thought is that to make tri-joints I’d want the lines spaced by 40mm instead of intersecting, so I am wondering if that would be a bunch of faff. Or do you think that I could write that into the Grass Hopper script too?
