I have learned a lot by looking at the works of others that have been posted on this site so I would like to hopefully contribute to this collective knowledge.
I once generated a curvilinear space frame within Sketchup which proved to be rather difficult. I next found a way of making the same space frame through the use of Rhino and Paracloud which was a little easier but became rigid after the transition from Rhino to Paracloud. Recently I was able to create the entire space frame within Grasshopper and have found it simple to apply this space frame to any shape. Most of the division values, subset lists, and cull patterns were referenced to each other but there are still some places where they are direct inputs through a slider, making it necessary to update these values if the others are change. I posted the grasshopper definition (triangularSPFR.wrm) as well as an animation of the process of building the definition (triangularSPFR.mov). Regards, Scott Seattle, WA MCNEEL- I thought I saw it mentioned in a post once that Grasshopper might be sold eventually? Please don't, it's going great so far.
