Automated Linear Frame Growth Issues + Hoopsnake to Anemone

[Joseph_Oster]

Most of the Anemone examples I found didn’t require Anemone at all but here’s one from four years ago on the old forum that does.

Approach to distribute objects randomly while avoiding intersection

P.S. Here are more recent examples using Anemone:

Sort curves to minimize travel distance

Here is this morning’s effort using Anemone. The problem is a compelling one… [minimize-travel_2021Oct16a] minimize-travel_2021Oct16a.gh (87.7 KB) The green group (upper right) weaves the “sorted” infill curves with the travel links to form one continuous toolpath per branch. The white group alternates start points by layer (branch) so in theory, the tool would minimize travel going from layer to layer. OK, cool, though it means you can’t take shortcuts like ‘Flatten’, as I did inside th…

Forward marching vectors

Tricky! This took awhile to understand. Since each point depends on the previous point, I resorted to an Anemone loop (white group). [Arches_2021_Jul6a] Arches_2021_Jul6a.gh (26.0 KB)

Perforating a curved Surface

Simplified further: [steps_2021Jan30a] steps_2021Jan30a.gh (47.7 KB) It’s tempting to try nested Anemone loops to handle more than two surfaces but it gets complicated.
