Dynamo sandbox question

@solamour
I challenged myself to attempt this shape in Dynamo sandbox for fun.


(Designed by Norman Foster)

I know i need MeshToolkit, DynaShape and maybe some more,
Can you tell me the latest version of Dynamo Sandbox that supports the latest version of those packages, please?
Anyone that wants to try, hop in, its for fun.

I would start with the solid, eventually convert to TSplines, and add the appendages. No need for mesh toolkit.

I believe that 2.19 will support what you are after. 3.0 won’t have DynaShape yet (check the roadmap by the way).

Have a go at it @jacob.small
You’re welcome to join in

Not at the laptop at the moment, perhaps if I have some time tomorrow.

Solid.Fillet would be of use here too…

An approximation using only TSplines

tp01 = TSplineSurface.ByPlaneOriginNormal(Point.ByCoordinates(0, 0, 0), Vector.ByCoordinates(0, 0, 1), Point.ByCoordinates(-40,-60), Point.ByCoordinates(40,60), 4, 4, TSplineInitialSymmetry.ByAxial(false, false, false), true);
tp02 = TSplineSurface.DeleteVertices(tp01, TSplineTopology.RegularVertices(tp01)[2]);
tp03 = TSplineSurface.WeldVertices(tp02, TSplineTopology.RegularVertices(tp02)[20..22], TSplineTopology.RegularVertices(tp02)[15..17], false);
tp04 = TSplineSurface.WeldVertices(tp03, TSplineTopology.RegularVertices(tp03)[12..13], Point.ByCoordinates(-2, -15), false);
tp05 = TSplineSurface.WeldVertices(tp04, TSplineTopology.RegularVertices(tp04)[9..10], Point.ByCoordinates(2, -15), false);
tp06 = TSplineSurface.MoveVertices(tp05, TSplineTopology.RegularVertices(tp05)[[1, 5]], Vector.ByCoordinates(-15, 0, 0), false);
tp07 = TSplineSurface.MoveVertices(tp06, TSplineTopology.RegularVertices(tp06)[[2, 7]], Vector.ByCoordinates(15, 0, 0), false);
tp08 = TSplineSurface.MoveVertices(tp07, TSplineTopology.BorderVertices(tp07)[[11, 15]], Vector.ByCoordinates(0, -20, 0), false);
tp09 = TSplineSurface.MoveVertices(tp08, TSplineTopology.BorderVertices(tp07)[16..17], Vector.ByCoordinates(0, 25, 0), false);
tp10 = TSplineSurface.MoveVertices(tp09, TSplineTopology.BorderVertices(tp07)[12], Vector.ByCoordinates(-15, 0, 0), false);
tp11 = TSplineSurface.MoveVertices(tp10, TSplineTopology.BorderVertices(tp07)[14], Vector.ByCoordinates(15, 0, 0), false);
tp12 = TSplineSurface.MoveVertices(tp11, TSplineTopology.BorderVertices(tp07)[13], Vector.ByCoordinates(0, -15, 0), false);
tp13 = TSplineSurface.Thicken(tp12, 5, true);
tp14 = TSplineSurface.DeleteFaces(tp13, Topology.Faces(tp13)[0..11]);
tp15 = TSplineSurface.SubdivideFaces(tp14, Topology.Faces(tp14), true);
tp16 = TSplineSurface.SubdivideFaces(tp15, TSplineTopology.InnerFaces(tp15)[[35, 36, 38, 39]], true);
tp17 = TSplineSurface.ExtrudeFaces(tp16, TSplineTopology.InnerFaces(tp16)[[79, 82, 85, 88, 135, 278, 279, 292, 293]], Vector.ByCoordinates(0, 0, -5), 3);
tp18 = GeometryColor.ByGeometryColor(tp17, Color.ByARGB(200, 249, 177, 163));

Sandbox ver: 3.1.0.4111

Why didn’t you add DynaShape nodes to your DS? And make a Mes(s)(h) :slight_smile:

Autodesk: make anything
