Create courtyard block with defined offset and required area

[user23]

Hi All, I have been really trying to get a script working that will create a courtyard block with a defined offset (red) and required area (yellow m2).

So far I have tried m2 required / block division to get one long rectangle with the correct area but any attempt to turn this into an offset rectangle and the required area is never quite met properly.

I thought maybe to divide into panels and rotate but there must be a smarter way?

I don’t remember which version of this is the best and don’t know if it helps you, but it sounds like a similar issue:

Grid relative to a polyline

I fixed it. This is BEFORE: [before] This is AFTER: [after] 13x13_Parcel_2021_Jul27a.gh (24.9 KB) I suspect the rest of your grid issue is rather simple. How about an image of what you expect?

P.S. I don’t want to get into this but why not start with a simple approach, like this?
