Hi I would like to flip these planes according to the normals of the mesh. The planes have different z-normals and move in different directions when using the planes as a vector. When using the mesh normals they all go in the same direction. How can I flip the plane z.direction so that they all po…

One last hurrah - this purple group culls (removes) planes at top and bottom edges. [Flip Planes_2025Feb1e] Flip Planes_2025Feb1e.gh (139.5 KB)

Hi, Just a follow up question. If I want to use the point on the triangle connecting the incircle shapes rather than the mid point of the triangle edges, how can I find and use that point in the same manner, and get the z-planes like in the previous code. I got this point pulling it from the hexag…

I did not ignore your code, I used it and got exactly what i wanted, it was great! I just deleted some of it to make it simpler since I focused on the incircles, but here is the code I used from you : Armbad custom Long Optimized.gh (278.0 KB) [flip21] What I meant is that the incircles have a …

[image] Pegelatrin: I did not ignore your code, I used it and got exactly what i wanted, it was great! Did you understand it? I see no “incircles” in the first code you posted today. Didn’t bother to look at ‘Armbad custom Long Optimized.gh’. Feels like I wasted my time yesterday and don’t…

Not at all wasted! I managed to get the final design out of it! This is just a another design using incircles instead of triangles. But its fine, ill find another way [flip23] [flip25]

[image] Pegelatrin: Just a follow up question. Starting with the last version I posted Saturday (Flip Planes_2025Feb1e.gh) and ignoring what you posted yesterday, I believe I’ve got something close to what you want? I have a slider to cull adjacent incircles that are too far apart. Unfilter…

I managed to get what i wanted here, although in a relativly complex way, they are connected based on the circles proximity to one another, but they connect via the triangle. The only problem here is that the box does not work properly. [prox 6] [prox 5] Proximity 2.gh (137.7 KB)

The hinges does not need to stop by the circles, the triangles are the base for the connections, the circles are just a reference for where on triangle edges the hinges should be. The hinges will be long enough to connect the circles. So it’s basically the triangle based one without the midpoint bu…

Sorry, I see no value in reading your code.

I discovered an internalized half torso mesh buried in your code:

And realized your real goal might be chain mail? It’s been done several times on this forum:
