Hey,
I’m looking for a grasshopper plugin that has a pathfinding algorithms that works in 3d. For instance, it should allow me to find the shortest path between 2 points in a solid object, through the object.
I was checking Galapagos but apparently its pathfinding only works on a surface.
I’m also open to any other ways of doing aside grasshopper if that’s the case, like coding it in.
Hi, I can think of Proximity 3D + Shortest Walk.
If memory serves, Heteroptera´s “Network Path Finder” Should also do the trick if I understood you goal correctly.
I’ll see if I can make a python script and update this post.
Hello
I am quite sure part of the solution is some geodesic path. Some others part must be straight line inside the solid.
I made a tool with Geodesic paths on mesh in Nautilus plugin.
But perhaps it could involve Kangaroo. with a curve made with strings.
Hi @Roberto_Neto,
That was a really fun problem thank you for sharing it.
Let me know if the plugin works as intended.

It will find the shortest path inside a solid, the depth of the GRID can be increased.

Awesome! That’s exactly what I had in mind Farouk. Thank you for sharing that!
