4_5 TESSELLATED FOLDING
March 22, 2010
Tessellated Folding is a basic geometry for all origami folding. It is almost similar with Truss Connection logic. In terms of geometric logic, only difference in folded plates from truss tessellation is connecting with” surface” instead of “lines”.
This geometry below was inspired by Toyo Ito’s Dune Pavilion, but more developed through surface folding geometry. By shifting the group of points, it could generate different degree of folding which defines the flow of space tectonically.

Dear Hyoung-gu,
Would you please contact me regarding the tessellated folding tutorial? I have tried several times with no luck along with many of my friends. I am anxious to know where I made a mistake.
kind regards,
Sean Hohman
If you want, send me the file (rhino and ghx) to (hgkook@gmail.com) I’ll look at it.Thanks

Grrrreat! sent this morning.

great site!
There seems to be a problem with the DIST output – it creates numerous circles (with varying radii) for each point, as opposed to one circle on each point…hmmm.
oops… found the flatten option on the DIST inputs…. still learning obviously. Thanks again for the great work.
HiHyoung
First of all, thank you for providing this site, great effort.
I’ve been working on your tesselated folding tutorial, and its been going great. My only issue is the triangulated surfaces seems to jump every second ‘ring’. Maybe a bit difficult to explain, but I hope you get the idea?
It seems you mean it looks like “Cull” pattern; true/false array… or “Shift”… The definition is all about sort of the different data organization, so if you look at closely again with “Panel”, you may solve it. If you send me the file, I can help you more details. Thanks for interest.

hello Hyoung-gul Kook,
I too am having trouble with this tutorial. Of course I am am a beginner, so I am am missing some of the nuance that it takes to make this work properly. But however, going step by step, something seems to be missing in the instructions.
In the step describing the surfacing of the tessellation, it simply is not comming together, I only get a single strip of triangles running from end to end. Any thoughts? Can I send you my file?
Thanks for any response in advance.

I am sure the tutorial works fine. A number of people have used this blog and tutorial and they had no problems. And I updated many times to modified it whenever it had a small problem. Please send me your file, I’ll look at it. Thanks.

i found what might be wrong (not wrong, but just a small detail).
In the shift component that says to jump the points from the previous circle, u have to unwrap the data. other wise , it will jump the data, excluding the previous. u can change it in the third input of the Shift component.
Hi, I’m having a little trouble with this definition. Could you take a look at it? Let me know if I should send my definition.
Thanks
If you send me your file, i can look at it. hgkook@gmail.com

Hyoung-gul Kook-I would like to thank You,for your amazing work!I did lots of tutorials on various blogs,on You Tube,Vimeo and others,but can say that yours tutorials and examples helped me the most.Thanks very much and good luck with everything!

Thank you for your interest. I’ll keep up with good materials.

My problem of Studying about 《Tessellated Folding》
I have done with the same steps as your Tutorial PDF.
I am sure that I have understood it，but the result I get is not I wish.
I beg you to help me figure out the problem of the grasshopper file.
I am sorry to worry about you.
Hi Hyoung-gul Kook… can I send you my file, I have a problem, I don`t know what happen with my gh definition, I really apreciate if you can tell me my mistakes… thank you so much…
Danny.
Sure, please send me your file to hgkook@gmail.com I can take a look at it.

Hi Hyoung-gul Kook
thanks for sharing your complex definitions.
This is a great inspiration and starting point for my own stuff.

Hi Hyoung-gul Kook, I have been trying to go over my gh def. to figure out the problem I encountered. For some reason, I only get a bunches of circle that only radiate from the 2 curves when they are parallel with x-axis. Would you mind look at my gh def. n point out what I have done wrong? I’m using the latest gh version.
