Making a deformed steel latice / grid

#1

I want to create a triangulated, deformed grid-like structure similar to that in the image below.
I’m looking to create it starting from a lofted/swept surface that remains accucrate to the drawings.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thankyou

had to solve a similar problem during an arch. project…
an addon for rhino helped a lot, it’s called paracloud
here’s a video tutorial that shows the process

I’ve been looking into Paracloud also, and would love to hear from you if you do decide to use it. I’m a student so the prices are a bit high though
