In the shop there are 4 meters beams. I have some elements of different lengths and i want to know how many beams i have to buy- i want grasshopper to make groups of these lengths that equals 4 meters altogether. Is it possible do it not manually?
Hi @lenajablonska,
Sure thats possible!
How to approach this differs based on the way your geometry or data is set up, for example if your elements in Grasshopper are created from a Curve or Axis you can get the Length of the Axis via the CurveLength component and the number of beams needed is the length divided by 4 Meters rounded up.
To give a better solution, some Screenshots, or even better the file in question would be needed.
For Rectangular beams you can extract the faces and use the bigger surface dimension, it will be fairly accurate.
