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…

What you want to do can be achieved with vector fields. See for example: [image] Multiple Point Vector Field – Example 6.2 As explained in the previous example, vectors are not geometry in and of themselves, but are used to influence geometry, by orienting it, moving it, etc. In the last…

I tried this method before but I wanted to do this pattern for irregular forms or other closed curves as well , so I tried to use kangaroo… any method in which I can do this with a star shaped closed surface maybe for an example.

Not really an answer but this look quite similar with points. [image] Attractor- Vector field- Flow lines around dots Grasshopper Hello for this you can generate your own field. I am not sure there is a plugin for that. I’ll add that to my Nautilus plugin surely with some…

Here’s a script that you can use to generate an approximation of the laminar flow around a collection of shapes: [image] flowaround.gh (76.8 KB)

Thanks Daniel, looking at the results of your code I think I manage to replicate to do the same thing with my Nautilus components. So I put weights on some point on edges depending on their position in Y. I neither thought of this :exploding_head: [image] flowaround_LD.gh (76.8 KB)

in case someone wants to open this on mac: you’ll get an error message opening the script file to point the kangaroo solver dll: paste in this path for Rhino 8: /Applications/Rhino 8.app/Contents/Frameworks/RhCore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ManagedPlugIns/GrasshopperPlugin.rhp/Components/Kang…

I think this result is only available to paid users , because I am not getting the same results as yours.

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