For this project, I chose the "model of X"which was in Atec building. I want to make it waffle structure.
I used "Sweep1" for the one arch and then copy and rotate it to make the other arch. and I used Bend and Twist to make a shape and With BooleanUnion I made them to one model.
lastly I cut the bottom shape with the surface I make with Line and Extrudecurve bothway.
lastly I covered that spots with the Polarsurface.
After modeling, I used script "cut may ribs" but it's not worked well.
Problem
Because the some of pieces of model I made has a "C" shape, and I need to make two slots at upper and bottom arch on at the same line at the same time. But it looks like that the piece is disappeared after one of slot is made.
To solve the problem, I had to find the pieces which has no slot and disappeared and I draw slots directly on the shapes where I want to make a slot. and then trimmed them.
Massing form and grill-age form extruded to 0.25 inches
and then I used the other script to spread out every pieces and to get rid of small pieces I don't want, I used Curveboolean.

I figured out why we need "numbering" and Waffle structure is stronger than I though even though It made by paper and also looks cool.
