Hi All,
I’m new to the grasshopper. I try to create an equilateral triangles panel with multiple attractors but each point should be connected to each other. It’s similar to the image shown below.
I get stuck after the first step and need some help to make the panel gradually varied but every point is connected to each other.

Thank you for reminding me. I’ve posted the file
The triangles in your reference image are not equilateral, they’re close, but you cannot create a freeform shape using equilateral triangles.
Each triangle must have the same edge lengths as all its neighbours, otherwise there would be gaps in the surface. Furthermore all three edges of each triangle must have the same length, otherwise they would not be equilateral. So all the triangles in your entire mesh are identical.
The only curvature possible under such constraints is one where you fold the shape along a set of edges that are all colinear and touch the boundary of the shape at both ends, or when you create a different topology where fewer or more than 6 triangles meet in some vertices.
Check the linked topic and have a try Meshmachine.
Thank you for your help. I see. I’ll give up the idea of exactly equilateral triangles.
Thank you!
