I have made a space truss and found it to be a fun application of what we did during last class. At first I struggled with the logic in grasshopper and then about 15 min into playing around it struck me as quite simple. Connecting the offset base shape of the pipes from one set of lines on one side to the other and alternating the origin and the end point to create the triangular shapes and thus creating the truss.
