The chair has evolved. I have switched, again, instead of utilizing the power of assemblies I've decided to assemble my chair with power copies. The most difficult part of this project was establishing/engineering a framework which would control the rest of the chair. Some of the goals I had hope to achieve by undertaking this approach were:
(i) grasp further understanding of frameworks and their potential as structural devices.
(ii) use power copies more abundantly and have them respond to framework changes
(iii) create a dynamic structure (a chair) which had multiple parametric components.
The frame work (which determines the chair width).
Joint lines which will determine point location for the chair slats.
Chair sides, both very dynamic/autonomous.
Chair frame parameters.
Chair frame surfaced.
First seat slat.
Slat powercopied.
More power copies and a change in the left frame.
Changes in width and with the frame.
One of the difficulties I found were powercopies behaving strangely. The slats operate off 4 points. Three of the points determine the plane/angle for the slat and the fourth point determines (or should determine) the top point of the slat. Unfortunately the slats top point would remain static even it's 'control' point moved (this occurs specifically when the chair sides changed angle). Ultimately I feel this is problem was due to how I structured the power copies and if tweaked/ re-instantiated could perform correctly.
