This shows the panel I created with the offset surface. In most cases, the intersections of the paneled lines occurs in the center of the ribs, which is our goal. But, when I looked closer, I realized that many of those intersections are still occurring on the edge of the rib or off center. To use the connection we have designed, this won't work.
This image shows what steps I took after making the more accurate ribs. I took a line extracted from the middle of the outside edge of the rib, offset it into the rib 3", and then made a surface out of that collection of offset lines. Then I made a new offset surface that I could then panel to get the precise positions of the cross braces.
This was the method I used for extracting more accurate lines for the ribs. I used angled planes through the paneled points on the surface and then trimmed the planes to the surface. Then I duplicated the edges, offset the edges individually to create the depth of the rib, created a surface with those two lines, then offset the surface as a solid to create the completed rib. In the end, the ribs are centered laterally on the lines created in the above image.

We needed to find an accurate path for the triangulated grid on the 3D ribs. To try and do this, I extracted a line on the center of each rib and created a new surface to panel from these lines. Due to small imperfections on the ribs, the surface did not line up with the ribs in an accurate enough way. I now need to go back and recreate the ribs with a more accurate method. Yipee.
