> Greetings all, I have been working on a structure that requires circle packing on a shaped dome with some sharp corners. I have been getting some very helpful reference from this community but after some time without noticeable progress I have decided to come ask for help. These are our criteria: control over the range of size of circles (8” to 30” diameter) maintaining the border of the existing shape a compact packing of circles (with 3-sided spaces between circle and between circles…

> Hello everyone, This is my first post here, I need help to create a specific structure using circle packing. I will be very thankful if someone is able to help me. I want to model the same structure as the “Packed Pavillon” (see image). I followed a tutorial on YT but the “teacher” was not making the big hole for entry as they did for the Packed Pavillon, in the tutorial is it not a complete circle, but I want to do exactly as the Pavillon, with a complete circular ho…

Assuming I want to fix the size of the circles (using CD as the assembly unit), how do I adjust the battery? Thank you very much!

I also think it will be better you post your geometry if you still have problems.
