Hello Reddit, I have come crawling back to you guys once again defeated. I was wondering if anyone would have any tips on how to simulate this aesthetic and style in my upcoming architectural project.

I have been trying to figure this out on my own and using chatgpt and Raven ai for help however to no avail.

My project is a spiderweb inspired labyrinth, where there are strands and branching paths all around you with architectural nodes and locations along the way. These vary from ammenties like toilets and vending machines to study areas and games rooms all the way up to a trampoline park and pub/bar.

The project is intended to encourage exploration and rewiring the way we traverse through spaces enjoying the experience and not as a means to reach out destination

My vision is the black tunnel like forms would be the circulation around the space but they would instead have the texture of the bottom image and the facade or view from the outside would resemble the first image which is a communal silk web.

I have tried simulating this with first generating a populate 3d kangaroo web structure and piping the lines, however this is as far i was able to get without needing to manually do everything else as I'm still quite new to grasshopper.

Any help at all would be extremely appreciated, I feel like my concept and vision in my mind is really interesting however being able to actually create it is the challenge. If you have any feedback about my concept aswell, I'm open ears, tear it to shreds if you like.

Thank you so much guys and hopefully with your help I can make something cool.

Anybody else working with Claude to write grasshopper scripts. It’s literally amazing. Just putting that out there.

Hey, I am a beginner in Grasshopper so I rely on AI a lot to create what I need. I use Gemini AI with the Pro tier. In Gemini you can create these „gems“ - essentially AIs with custom instructions for a specific purpose.

If anyone uses some custom instructions for their AI to create Grasshopper code, I’d be glad if you’d share it here! :)

Mine are in the attached image. I just made them now so they’re not really good and I still have to test them, so any feedback would be appreciated.

I have hundreds of pipe-shaped blocks in AutoCAD. When I edit each block, I see that each one consists of 4 polyface meshes forming a pipe geometry.

What I need is to automatically convert these pipe-shaped polyface mesh blocks into centerline geometry (a line running through the geometric center of each pipe).

Doing this manually for each block is not feasible due to the number of elements.

Ideally, I am looking for a batch or automated solution to extract the centerline from these mesh-based pipe geometries.

I have access to:

• AutoCAD
• SAP2000
• Tekla Structures
• Rhino (Grasshopper available if needed)

Questions:

• Is there a known workflow or script (AutoLISP / Rhino Grasshopper / Dynamo / etc.) for this kind of conversion?
• Would Rhino be more suitable for extracting centerlines from polyface meshes?
• Any recommendations for handling large numbers of similar pipe geometries?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
