Terrain Script

project: Montage Park

location: Healdsburg, CA
date: 2021
size: 82 acres

Description: We scanned an 82 acre site with a drone and then generated a TIN mesh model. Contours were cut from the model in Rhino, and the grasshopper script allowed us to first smooth the contours. The resulting contours were then draped and used a surface for design iteration.

REBUILDING (SIMPLIFYING) CONTOUR LINES

REBUILDING (SIMPLIFYING) CONTOUR LINES

Usually the Contour lines have a lot of control points. Rebuilding these curves will make the processing time for creating the topo surface faster.

MESH TOPO FROM CONTOURS

This script create a mesh surface out of topography lines. The only input from Rhino is topo curves.

NURBS TOPO FROM CONTOURS

This script create a Nurbs surface out of topography lines. The only input from Rhino is topo curves.

SPOT ELEVATION AND SLOPE CHECK FROM POINTS

These Spot Elevation script shows the z value of the point. The slope check script calculate the slope between two points.

SLOPE CHECK FROM LINE

The script calculate the slope within a single line.
