Grossju - Project 007


For project 007, I created a collection of developable surfaces that are unrolled onto an adjacent flat plane.  As the 3D structure is modified, the nested, flat surfaces are updated simultaneously.




The structure is formed by stacked circular sketches with 8 intersecting spokes.  The offset distance between each layer can be modified with a distance parameter.  Changing this parameter changes the entire aggregation and every associated surface.




The extrusion distance of each component is driven by the angle created by the original face and and a flat XY plane.




The angle is fed through a series of unit conversion parameters to achieve an appropriate unit of distance.

Each edge of the resultant face is then inset by 2ft.  Multi-section surfaces are then created between the original three edges and the new extruded and inset edges.  The three multi-section surfaces are joined into a single surface and then unrolled.
