Hey everyone,
I’m new to Rhino & Grasshopper and need to use them for my thesis on 3D printing.
I’m trying to create an infill pattern using truncated octahedrons, but I’m struggling to fill a cube with them as tightly as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello
Geometry gym plugin has a tool for this.
Hey!
thank you for your response!
unfortunately from my promotor i need to try to use no (or only essential plugins).
Is there a way to do it without using the geometry gym plugin?
Yes
you just have to do the math. For cubes of size L, displacement of cubes has this form
Position = InitialPosition + i* L * VectorX+ j* L * VectorY+ k* L * VectorZ
i, j and k are integers
I still am struggling with this. Could you maybe give an example?
Hey everyone!
I think i have made some progress but i am struggling to have octahedrons in the middle of the cubes, right now there are empty spaces between them. Also i the octahedrons need to be ‘cut’ when exceeding a box.

This is indeed a way ‘prettier’ solution. thank you
