Hi everybody, it looks like I am dealing with a data structure problem that is way beyond my present knowledge of GH. I’m trying here to have a regular grid of circular perforations on a set of triangular surfaces. The end goal is to be able to have precise control over the radius of the perforatio…

I had to disable preview on several components to see what’s happening. Then used List Item to look at just one surface. [Perforazioni_2024Oct31a] I see by their areas that your list of triangles vary in size… Will say more later but did you see this code I posted three days ago? […

Hi Joseph, thank you for attaching your post. It is a similar situation, but yes, in my case all triangles have different sizes and orientations in space. I have taken their shapes as a given and try to apply different perforations on them. I had more luck with Voronoi perforations with gradients (s…

I made some changes but can’t follow this, sorry. Perforazioni 05_exp_2024Oct31a.gh (32.3 KB)

Joseph, thank you so much for looking into this. I wasn’t expecting a full review of my code, your suggestions are more than welcome, and the solutions obtained adapting your code are definitely worh an analysis. Would you mind sharing the definitions for your two options? Thank you again!

[image] Federico Grazzini: Would you mind sharing the definitions for your two options? I’m working on it. While I was able to quickly modify my code to get some promising results with your geometry, I saw flaws - some “old” and some specific to your irregular triangles. So a major refactor…

Marvelous. In the meantime I was able to resolve a few data tree problems in my definition, and arrived at this, which is OK but I like better how the space between the rows of circles reduces alongside the circles radii, like in your solution (or does it not? Maybe it’s just an optical effect of th…

That’s great, thank you so much! There’s more than enough to look at for now
