UNFOLDED POWERCOPY TOWER
The powercopy geometry is formed from an input of three points, forming a plane on which a circle is drawn and copied along the Z axis. The area of the surface defined by the three input points determines the distance the second circle is copied, and also its radius. The original circle's radius is related to the length of the line it's centerpoint lies on.
A line connecting the two circles can be adjusted to define the twist of the resulting broken hyperboloid. The final geometry and corresponding unfolded shape are as follows:
When the framework is modified, the powercopies and their unfolded surfaces adapt. The powercopy is also controlled by a universal parameter that relates to the height of geometry. As this multiplier is varied, all powercopies react (see top).
