How close the trimmed edges of a voronoi pattern using a custom boundary

[adam_murray272]

Hi,

I’m trying to close a voronoi pattern using a custom surface boundary. As you can see with the first image the pattern has open curves on both and top and bottom of the surface boundary. The logic I used was to try and split the surface boundary curves and join them to the voronoi pattern, but my attempts have been unsuccessful. I also can’t simply use the close curve component has I have filleted areas which doesn’t align perfectly with the boundary.

Open curves at the top and bottom of the pattern:

Close curve result not following filleted areas:

I will provide my attempt in the script where I got close but struggled with the data management to finalise the result:

Thanks!

You can split the contourlines.

The best way of doing this is to make the pattern on a 2D plane.

• Make a rectangle that the height and the length of the wall convert it to a surface.
• Make the voronoi pattern on it. and trim with the surface.
• Use (Surface Morph - Grasshopper Transform - Component for Grasshopper | Grasshopper Docs) to reference the wall surface to your flat pattern and the result would be what you are looking for.

Thank you for the help Erik! very insightful.

Hey Rane,

This was the first method I tried before the script you see now. The problem is it’s seems to only work on geometry being constructed in a particular way. The boundary I had lead to a inaccurate result, the scale was off even though the unroll dimensions were correct and the connection between the start and end of the surface was incorrect.
