science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form.

- ignore separation of the network: finished vant network, most likely at each intersection of the cables would have "special ties", which will joing together the pairs of cables in all their places of intersections; separation of the network will cause low forces in those ties, however, because of its small value, they can be neglected; If the full vant network will be covered with concrete, this separation of the network even physically just couldn't take place;
- the lower parts of flat arches (A-B) you can do just as straight line – will be no separations of network;
- the lower parts of flat arches you can bend down to make them similar to their upper parts - see. Figure. 9.

a)  element must be sufficiently flexible for it can be much flexing like a bow crossbar; 2)  Distribution of holes within the length of the straight element I try to do always with one manner, namely:
b)  element must be tough enough to "keep the force", but when removing the external load it must return itself to its original straight state (i.e. residual deformation and phenomenon of flow of material must be very small);
c)  for creating x-shaped elements of rectilinear details they need to be drilled in the middle of their length; the diameter of drilled holes must be as small as possible, so that the flexibility of rectangular element in place of drilling does not be increased too much;
d)  elements should not be too fragile, or while pulling x-shaped elements by the network they just will be breaked at the points of joining rectilinear elements together;
e)  drilling holes for attaching cables should be made with small diameter to retain strength properties of contour elements; this diameter directly depends on the diameter of the cord that is selected for the plaiting network; diameter of drilling should be able to stretch through one hole at least two cords together;
a)  at the ends of the element, and in the middle of its length drilled holes for its attaching to other contour elements (two holes at the ends and one hole on the middle of the length of element); 3)  gathering direct elements into x-shaped elements may be bolted or connected using, for example, tubular rivets (if they in future not need to be disconnected);
b)  at each of the halves of the linear element are made 4 holes for cables, on one linear element are made 8 such openings;
c)  for drilling openings under cables the full estimated element length (L) will be divided into 16 parts (estimated length is the distance between the extreme holes, these holes are made for fastening the element to adjacent elements);
d)  from the top mounting hole we measure a distance 1/16 part of estimated element length and drill the first hole for the cables; from first hole for cables we measure 2/16 part of the estimated length and drill second hole for the cables, from it we measure 2/16 of the estimated length and drill third hole for the cables etc; In short: between each pair of adjacent holes for cables the distance is 1/8 the estimated length and so along the whole length of the element;
e)  If you've done everything correctly, the extreme holes for cables are at a distance of 1/16 element length from holes for fastening the element to other adjacent contour elements; the hole to connect two direct element into x-shaped element is located at the middle of the direct element length (between 4-th and 5-th hole for the cables), it is removed from the 4-th and 5-th hole for the cables at 1/16 of the estimated length of the direct element;
