Segmented Glass Canopy](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/is-it-an-adaptive-component-family-and-or-list-issue-segmented-glass-canopy/1676/10): > > Keenan, The isolines grid seems to depend on the way the surface is constructed. (eg. The definition seems to fail in certain cases where the surface is derived from a sphere) I’ll need to alter the script and approach (to not use isolines) in order to obtain a regular grid irrespective of the geometry of the surface. However, if you want a non uniform grid, you could try the below file in which the input parameters for the spacing is a range instead of a number.
