Hi all,
I’m having trouble creating a brick pattern with uneven spacing between the horizontal lines.
Could anyone help me do this in Grasshopper?
I think there are a bunch of answers in the forum for things like this. I bet you’ve already found brick pattern examples.
Something basic that could help get the uneven horizontals going might be Contour (Ex):

Note:
You didn’t post a file or any particular boundary curve or surface you’re working with, so you might need to adapt the definition.
Hi @René_Corella , thanks for replying to my topic. First of all, apologies for not attaching any files earlier. You can now see the attached files below to better understand my concern.
Basically, I completed the contour part and successfully generated the horizontal lines, but I’m not sure how to create the vertical lines. Do you have any ideas on how to achieve this type of pattern?
Left-hand side: Generated horizontal lines (what I have now)
Right-hand side: Manually sketched pattern (what I want to achieve)

Thanks.
Going from where you are currently you can use subsurfaces:
BrickPattern1.gh (46.7 KB)
Note:
These are just divisions. Did you intend to use exact dimensions for the brick sizes (lengths) instead?
Hi @René_Corella , thank you for your help!
Yes, I want to achieve something like this:
As you can see in the image (yellow), the dimension of the brick is 52 m. The arrangement will likely follow an alternating pattern, where each brick is placed at the midpoint of the one below to create the staggered layout.

I should have asked first.
For this another approach is needed.
Here’s one way, let me know how it goes.
