    hi, good tutorial!

    but it doesn’t seems to work for the railings. they are all linked together for some reason.

    Hi, nice tutorial, thank you.

    I had the same problem with the railings all connecting together. Not worked out why yet. :-(

    Hey, good tutorial over there!.. any ways David i have a question… but if you use the pipe command. the intersections of the joints created by the pipe are ugly, is there any way you can make a smooth organic connection at the very intersection of the pipes?? something like what t-spline offers? too, can you make that possible by making a series of ellipse around the lines (center) and then loft them? but how is it for curves to loft when they branch out from a single curve to 2 separated curves to loft? is there any way to make a smooth connection between them?? or do i have to do it manually using t-spline after grasshopper piping?

    Please clear my doubts!!! Thank you so much!!

    hi! awesome tutorial. I was going through them and wondering, if i wanted to apply the shift tutorial to this (instead of railing) to connect each layer with some sort of trusswork, whereabouts in the workflow would i do that? I can see the connections between the concepts, but I havent used GH much, so I am lost.
