Congratulations for the clear explanation. In my opinion there are few tutorials on tensile structures like this one with Grasshopper Kangaroo 2. Thanks for the Video...

Thank you! If you have something else you would like to see let me know!

[@NTC]

hey it's great

[@SebAnt]

Awesome tutorial! I would love if it be used together with firefly to make tent dance to music...

[@motus406]

That would be a fun project! How cool would it be to see a concert in a dancing pavilion! I might make a part 2.

@@motus406wow, that would be amazing if you do the part 2. I’ve really been wanting to try that but I’m just a grasshopper newbie.

Can you share the Rhino file and the grasshopper file please !!!

[@tutran-yq3mx]

How can you select the point in the mesh at 14:39

[@urmum6979]

I have the same probllem pls help

[@motus406]

@@tutran-yq3mx I have "vertex" selected within the Osnap settings in Rhino so I can easily select the vertex of the mesh

I do not normally share the scripts since the whole tutorial is going over how to recreate it. I am happy to share, but I find it less helpful to the students.
