A little history on this simple LunchBox component - when I was a designer, I would often work on projects that had both 2D and 3D NURBS curves as the building blocks for architectural geometry (think landscape pathways or structural systems). These needed to be broken down into discrete parts that could be easily dimensioned and fabricated. I worked out this simple component for breaking down complex curves into arcs that connected end-to-end on tangents. I would use this component to derive arc-based curve segments that closely approximated the original NURBS - simple but effective! #geometry #nurbs #rhino #grasshopper #computationaldesign

Freeform modeling tools like Rhino and Grasshopper make it easy for designers to explore irregular, curvilinear design concepts. As the design process moves toward later phases of a project, it can be a challenge to rationalize complex curves while maintaining the desired appearance. An under-the-radar LunchBox component called “ArcDivide” can simplify and streamline the rationalization process. https://buff.ly/3Pgr10I #Rhino3d #grasshopper #parametricdesign #BIM
