Truss script in python

Hello,

Im kinda new to scripting with python and I would like to convert my messy GH script into python. What I want to do is to convert truss geometry below into python script.

I’ve spend some time searching and trying but it seems I got stuck pretty much in the first steps

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

#import start & end point of truss, height of truss, segmentation count
pt1 = rs.coerce3dpoint(start)
pt2 = rs.coerce3dpoint(end)

segments = division

height = -height

#create bottom chord line
line = rs.AddLine(pt1,pt2)

#divide bottom chord
division_points = rs.DivideCurve(line,segments,True,True)

#copy points to defined height of truss
height_point = rs.CreatePoint(0,0,height)
translation_top = pt1-height_point
top_chord = rs.CopyObjects(division_points,translation_top)



a = line
b = division_points
c = top_chord

I have no idea how to proceed and I would like to ask you guys for some help. Anybody willing to share some thougths on how to make such geometry? Ive tried to search for references but with no results. Thank to anybody willing to help!

EDIT:

GH files attached. (Original one and python one)
Truss_Python_v00.gh (6.1 KB)
Truss_v04.gh (28.0 KB)
