3D Triangular Panel Facade

Delaunay triangulated facade with open pyramid frames

Category: FacadeLevel: Intermediate27 components · 32 wires

0 views

Random points plus points along the rectangle edge are triangulated with Delaunay Mesh into triangular panels. Each triangle is scaled about its centroid according to its distance from an attractor and pushed out of the facade plane. A loft between outer and inner triangles yields an open pyramid frame per panel. The original Delaunay mesh is shown as glass behind it.

Remap Numbers
Scale

Loft

Plugins required

None. It uses only the components built into Grasshopper.

Parameters you can change

Width (8 to 50): facade width (m)
Height (4 to 30): facade height (m)
Point Count (10 to 200): random points inside the facade
Depth (0.1 to 2): frame projection out of plane (m)
Attractor X (0 to 50): opening attractor position

How the definition works

1Set the sliders in the Parameters group (Width, Height, Point Count, Depth, Attractor X).
2Triangulation: Random and edge points are merged and Delaunay-triangulated on the XZ plane.
3Attractor scaling: Triangle centroid distance to the attractor is mapped to an opening scale of 0.15 to 0.75.
4Pyramid frames: Inner triangles are scaled and pushed out; Graft and Merge pair every outer triangle with its inner one for Loft.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get the real file?

Yes. The pictures on this page are only previews. After payment we send the download link of the real project file (a ZIP containing the .gh and .ghx definition, the baked .3dm, images and a BACA-DULU.txt note) by WhatsApp or email.

Which Grasshopper version do I need?

The file was made in Rhino 8 with Grasshopper (Rhino 8). Newer versions open it too.

Can you adapt it to my design?

Yes, as a separate order. Message us on WhatsApp with a short description of the size and shape you want.
