Column not rotating perpendicular to curve when base and end points aren't vertically aligned

Hey there,

I am having issues with rotating a column perpendicular to a curve when the base and end points aren't vertically aligned. The script I am using works perfectly if the base point and end point are vertically aligned. Any thoughts on what might be the issue?

See attached document for grasshopper definition.

Cheers in advanced!

Update: I have come to the conclusion that the definition is working, although, the columns can never be completely perpendicular to the top and bottom curves/points as this would mean that the column is twisting.

Hi there Jarrod Phillips,

I am pretty new to Rhino and the Grasshopperlive connection and not yet very comfortable with the workflow. However, as i saw your 3d result I was wondering if you would/could share your Grasshopper script. I want to realize something very similar but i don't know where to start.

Kind regards,
