Find out the the best route between two point in a mountain site?

[realtaiwanese]

I am wondering if is there a good way or plugin that allows me to find out the best route between 2 points on a topo surface, considering the maximum gradient and total length. The closest I can find is this youtube tutorial using Galapagos.

Grasshopper + Galapogos: finding the shortest path and least slope on a topography

But, in a more complicated site situation, it is hard to get the desired result. Any suggestion for a different approach? Maybe I am using the wrong software for the task ? Thanks

There’s a couple of topics on this already with several different solutions. Have a look:

Shortest path - taking obstacles and the terrain into account

Hi, I am interested in performing a shortest-path analysis which takes the terrain into account. However, I am not aware of any method that works in a 3-dimensional path structure. For example, I want to find out the shortest paths between the points in red. These paths could be the ones shown in blue, if they take obstacles into account. If not, it may generate the dashed line in blue [afbeelding] I came across this fairly rudimentary algorithm that uses Galapagos to optimise the shortest p…

Min/Max Slope Pathfinder in Kangaroo

Hi Guys, I am new in Kangaroo, and still trying to get a feel for all the settings. I saw this nice animation of way finding done in Kangaroo and decided to replicate. [Landscape pathfinding using grasshopper3D / kangaroo.] I think I got the logic and system working, but still something wrong with it. Results are not predictable Not sure if I setup ClampAngle correctly. Some of the slopes are still more than 5 degrees. PathFinnding_Kangaroo_01.gh (199.0 KB) [Screenshot 2020-0…

A path with slopes on the terrain

Hі! Now I’m looking for a way from point A to B with a maximum gradient of 10%. I currently have a script I found on the internet, but it doesn’t work the way I’d like it to. Please look at the working files and give comments on how to improve the result.

Thank you, Anders, I will look at the links you shared!

Thanks Kyrylo! I will try this plugin!

This is not a plugin, this is a script! I was also looking for options for building a road, and this one suited me better than all of them

you could try component in Nautilus

Thank you Saeed ! I will try this as well !
