took me way too long to get all the kinks work out on this...but here it is.
I created an arch on which i placed several points for what would later be the placement of the powercopies. The points on the arch were spaced evenly within the 'place point' tool where I used a ratio as opposed to a dimension of the arch.
Making the individual tube was easy. and since it was built on a set of parameters, it was simple to change and manipulate. The plans were placed at planes which are all based on a parameter of height. If one run changes its height, they all change in unison. The circles are all placed with their centers coinciding with a base point outside of the geometrical set...these two base points later on serve as the placement tools for the powercopies.
the original powercopy was created pretty quickly and based on two parameters; radius, which controls all of the circles at once in case i needed to make the plans wider or thinner. The other parameter is height, which controls the height of the plane with which the alternating floor plans intersect.
