Hi,
I’m trying to create the Swatch Headquarters, and I want to make the grid compress depending on where I place the windows, like this:
I’m not quite sure how to achieve this.
Thank you. I’ve attached the file.

Not exactly, I just don’t want to make the hole. I want to take a panel of the grid and scale it so that the surrounding grid lines get compressed and create the effect seen in the photo.
Ah, got it. You can use ShapeMap to flatten the 3d shape into a plane, lay out the grid curve on the flat plane, and then remap them back onto the original surface to create the structural. Here’s a reference exmaple, hope this helps.
I am looking for the grid to adapt to the shape as it approaches the circle. This way, when the grid gets closer to the circle, even thought there is a compression, most of it gets cut off. I don’t know if it is possible what I want, but thanks anyways!
Sure, theoretically, this is achievable. You can try processing the curves you want to arrange on the flat plane first, then remapping them back on the 3d shape, fyi,
I will try that, thanks
