Exercise 1C | Referencing and Creating Geometry

Aim: Create a lofted surface in Grasshopper but using Geometry that was created in Rhino.

I started off by creating a curve within Rhino. Whereas before I duplicated and moved it along an axis I wanted to be able to control the number of curves and their distance apart within Grasshopper after they had been lofted.

To do this I selected the curve and linked it to a geometry parameter in Grasshopper. To duplicate it I used a Linear Array and arranged the newly made curve using a Unit Y vector. By using an array to create the multiple curve I can use number sliders to control the Direction and Count parameters, allowing me to extend the lofted surface or increase/decrease the number of curves.
