Create a grid of points around a reference point and plane

[rolandoavillena1 (Rolandoavillena)]

Hi,

I am trying to crate a grid of points that can be placed around a reference point and a reference plane (reference plane is mostly to control orientation of the grid)

The idea is:

• Given a point as reference create a grid of point around it.
• Given a plane the grid will follow the plane orientation.

I have a definition (see below) that creates the grid and rotates, but I am wondering if there are more clean/simpler ways to solve this problem using grasshopper. Also if anyone has any C# scripts that will be cool too.

Please if anyone in the community can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks,
Rolando

You say you trying to make a lot of points around somewhere?

Don’t know why someone even asks this question, but this is fun…
You don’t need to install Wombat, just make a symmetric domain and feed them into the rectangle

@rolandoavillena1

the right direction

1. Get a proper wave board (a JP).
2. Get proper sails (Neil Pryde).
3. Forget all that.

But if you insist:

As a mini challenge: add an option for the even/odd half offset thingy.

Hi, seems like there is a problem.

@Quan_Li

a problem.

Not for me: I work with R5.

Anyway if you can code replace this Method with a post R5 one

Meaning … do this:

Porca miseria: see today’s forcast (life sucks):

So I did the trad update:

This is so cool!
