Hi all,
I need to fill the attached patterns inside some boundary with shown dimension and shapes, please help me i m new to rhino and i don’t know grasshopper also.
Please help me
Hi,
there is no single or quick solution, and depending on your outline it’s a non-trivial problem.
If you are new to Rhino, then try to understand how to use the ‘Transform’ toolset and have a look
at the array tool and different morphing operations (‘FlowAlongCurve’ etc.).
There is also a free plugin for Rhino called ‘Paneling tools’. But a non-programmatic solution might
not yield satisfying results.
Grasshopper is much more difficult and requires some decent training to solve
real world problems. It’s not so hard to get started, but it’s definitely difficult to produce well-made
patterns programmatically. Often direct coding is a must.
In any case, you should be aware that long training is required!
And last but not least, there are sometimes not satisfying solutions, especially if you try to fill elliptic shapes into a sharp triangle.
However, in my experience it is always better not to deform the pattern too much, and rather go for an imperfect border. Like you did in your ‘Detail-2’ drawing. The more elements you have, the easier it is to fit a pattern into a shape.
Hope this helps at least a bit…
