Hello, I am working on the grasshoper tutorial of the Centre Pompidou but I can't find the t-splines component in grasshoper. I've tried downloading every t-spline version possible but every time the gha. isn't there. Could somebody give me the gha. file ? It would help me a lot. Thanks !

Thanks a lot for your answer! I'll definetily try it on Rhino 6. In the meantime I'm kind of stuck in an interpretation of your tutorial for the centre Pompidou on a project of my own. I'm stuck at the moment where I'm generating the beams (like you can see in the picture the beems twist a lot), because I would like the beems to be always vertical and strait with the same height and not perpendicular to the brep. Do you have an idea on how to make this happen ?
Thanks again !

Hi Luc,
I created a quick def that aligns the beams "vertically" as in using the world Z-axis. I also included the possibility to align them according to the underlying surface. Play around with the def and try some different aligning vectors and see what happens to the orientation of the planes and generation of the beams.

Hi Luc!
Autodesk acquired T-splines some time ago and then decided to terminate it in favor of their Fusion 360. This means that T-splines is dead and is not available for Rhino anymore unfortunately... A dick move, I know, but luckaly Rhino is working on their own T-spline or Subd implementation (https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/subd-tool-on-rhino-6/66385/2) it is still in a very very beta stage. As soon as this matures into a more stable option, I'm going to redo these lessons using Rhino's native Subd option. As well as the course about the Heydar Aliyev Center from ZHA.
If you can't wait and want to play around with Subd's in Rhino do the following:
You need Rhino 6 for this command to work and be advised it is kind of unstable and it might crash Rhino etc.
Unfortunately a Subd geometry can't be referenced in Grasshopper (yet). I guess as soon as this is possible I'll redo the lessons.
Good luck and thanks for your understanding!
Arie
