Spider web base structure

I have experimented further with creating a base structure on to which a spider web can form and grow, as controlled by sliders for certain values within grasshopper. I wanted a basic pattern, which radiates outward in a similar fashion to a spider web, on which to place the differing crossing patters which will make my spider webs. This flowgraph shows how I have achieved this.


I created this pattern by first placing a point and the centre point of a circle. The circle was then divided up into the points which make it up, and then lines were drawn from the centre point outward to these points on the circumference of the circle. These lines where then divided further to create a grid of points radiating outward from the central point. As seen below.
