You can easily do that, since i'm calculating a list of sloping values, you can link that to drive any geometry. I could make all sorts of strange geometry that derives from the exact slope angle in each point of the surface, the hard part is coming up with something useful. > > just as an aside, what renderer are you using...im new to rhino, > trying to see what ppl are using... I'm using Brazil rs 2 for rhino (http://brazil.mcneel.com). It's still in beta but its free for rhino users until v.1.0 is out. It's a great renderer that lets you tweak almost everything. I find it very suited for the conceptual process of design since you can create more subjective images. You can also do realistic images but I'm using revit +mental ray for that right now (because of workflow porpuses).
