Parametric facade design

john2

Any good tutorials on how the following type of facades can be easily made in sketchup?
The facade was originally made in Rhino + grasshopper.

I tried to intersect a terrain and a curved geometrical horizontal plane with my perforated screen pattern but that doesn't help.

Why not make like this ?
And you make anything you want with the doted surface!

Just take a look at Transformer by S4U,It won't let you down!
To Component and Face to Frame are also great plugin which will make you live an easier life.

the "Flowify" plugin could be very helpful for this kind of shapes too..

The easiest way to become Frank O Gehry. Thanks a lot for this!! My mind was feeling dizzy as experienced in the theatre while watchign the shape shifting architecture of Inception and Dr. Strange.

it's a very useful (and robust) plugin.. you can model some simple flat shapes and then map them to curved surfaces.. here you can see an example of use.. a simple process to get a shape that would be not so easy and fast without flowify and a couple of oter plugins.. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=397%26amp;t=66269
