[image] Hello Everyone, struggling with the panelization of a quad mesh that has been made with kangaroo. I tried a lot of different plugins to convert the mesh into a surface since that’s required by most panelization plug-ins, but nothing has helped me so far. does anybody know how I can get th…

new design over elkaar 230802.gh (210.4 KB) [image] this is the part where the quad mesh is made after the kangaroo plugin

The pattern I’m trying to recreate is from the shells of achim menges. I know he follows a complete different method of achieving the panelization with optimization techniques. However I’m just after the aesthetics for now [image]

Following forum guidelines is a good idea to get an answer. [image]

i’m sorry, new to the forum. i uploaded a cleaned version of the file new design over elkaar 230802 cleaned.gh (151.8 KB)

[image] Planar surfaces from non planar surfaces for Digital Fabrication Grasshopper Hello, I would like to ask for your help in the approach that I should follow regarding Digital Fabrication. I want to built this shape using laser cutting. Now, I am using lunchbox for …

That’s indeed a very useful thread on the planarization, however it doesn’t really give me the insights on how to create the custom paneling on a mesh

[image] tom de jong: struggling with the panelization of a quad mesh So you like to create custom pattern(not quad) than penalize them, right?

These are hex not quad, NGon can do that. [image] [image] nGon solids Grasshopper I was using this solver for making this: I tried to explain within these images: [Figure03a_1513] [Figure04__1200] [Figure11_1200] [Pla]

Hi Tom, I had a crack at making that shape of panel. The basic strategy was to further subdivide the quads into triangles and then use stripper to get each row of the mesh and build up that shape from the triangles. The mesh pieces come out non-ordered so there are a couple steps of ordering the pi…
