The interconnected wall stems from work originally proposed by Erwin Hauer, this example has been reworked in grasshopper and tested physically on a cnc milling machine. The definition is used to design panels which do not collide with each other.  It uses curves taken from rhino space to sweep2 a surface.  This surface is extruded; which creates a closed brep that is suitable for a difference component.  A cylinder is subtracted, then the piece is rotated 180 degrees to face the previous piece.  In this stage it is important to make sure that no edges are colliding, this can be done by adjusting either the curves or the radius of the cylinder.  My dimensions responded to the fact that I was cutting the object out of 2″ insulation foam, but all of the dimension can be controlled in the definition.
