This iterative excersize in Grasshopper involved using several attractor points with varying meta-data (influence) to push/pull a surface in the Z direction. This dynamic operation was performed on 2 surfaces simultaneously, causing them to intersect with one another. In addition to just studying the spatial propositions on this system, a dispatch was established to measure the reaction of surface areas against the original flat surface (noted as a change in color). Due to the coinstraints of the regularly established X,Y grid, the increase in surface area is directly related to the movement in the Z direction (larger surfaces have a greater degree of tilt with respect to the X,Y plane).Following variables applied to series:Srf_1: bottom default surface (grid spacing, #grid X, #grid Y)Srf_2: top default surface (grid spacing, #grid X, #grid Y)P: influence value of (5) attractor points for each surfaceA: area percentage above flat surface
