I am currently using Crane for an academic project and have been experiencing some difficulties. I am trying to create a Huffman Waterbomb pattern, but I am unable to fold the surface in the way I intend.

This (Fig. 1) is the algorithm I have used; however, when I perform the folding operation, it seems to fold only the outer corners (Figs. 2 and 3). With smaller patterns, the process works correctly, but when I need to work with a larger pattern, it stops functioning properly.

How can I solve this issue?

I have also checked the mountain fold selection (Fig. 4.1) and the valley fold selection (Fig. 4.2), but I do not believe that this is the source of the problem.

Ciao Valeria e benvenuta

Deve risponderti qualcuno che utilizza questo add-on di Grasshopper. Lo conosco di nome e non ho idea di quale forma debba avere la forma finita.

In generale: hai un problema solo con questa forma oppure il problema nasce quando devi ripetere il modulo?

Che esperienza hai con Grasshopper?

La ringrazio per la sua gentilezza e disponibilità. Alla fine ho risolto il problema contattando direttamente uno degli sviluppatori, che mi ha consigliato di ridurre uno dei valori del Solver, dal momento che Crane è concepito come strumento per la modellazione di origami rigidi. Ad ogni modo il mio progetto è salvo!
