Hello I am trying to achieve a pattern of parallel curves that is wrapping around closed curves as shown in hand drawn image uploaded. I have used kangaroo 2 curve point collide to achieve this goal. But problem is that curves are not wrapping around the closed curves nicely. Pease help achieve that…

Actually it occurred to me that we could also do a similar thing without scripting by treating it as a soap film in Kangaroo, with height instead of temperature. Of course this is still iterative solving behind the scenes, but perhaps it makes it more geometrically intuitive what’s going on. [imag…

Which version of Rhino are you using? Windows or Mac? What’s the error message?

Ah, I think I may have forgotten to internalise the input geometry when I first uploaded. Try this: flowaround.gh (76.8 KB)

Yes it worked now Daniel. Thank you. Can I request you for explanation of the logic you have used to create this script, I am not good with scripting in programming language, I would like to create it through grasshopper if possible.

This isn’t something that can be done with standard GH components, because it involves iterative solving. (Essentially it’s solving for heat diffusion on a mesh using the discrete Laplace-Beltrami operator, then taking isocurves. It is also keeping the temperature equal along the length of each of t…

Ok thank you for that explanation. Appreciate your help.

It was showing last component red with message this component is showing partial results.

I’ll have too look at my tools but there are 2 tools with quite the same name, one is free and not the other. I don’t find a clue, I think you uploaded a version with this component and I changed it. Licence component MUST have a yellow square. [image]

Oh ok. Will check that yellow box and use free component to make it work. Thanks a lot.

Well worth the small price to license Laurent’s tools.

Hello
I am interested to see what you get ? And if a component is showing a message ?
Here a version with various weights on curves
