How to get tidy circles in a hexagonal circle packing pattern?

[Joseph_Oster]

This also reminds me of these threads:

Gradient Dot Pattern

Your radiused rectangle in this thread is 749 units long compared to 595 units in the previous thread (and my last post). And the corner radius is smaller. So more holes (400) works better than 141 holes. And it looks better to reduce ‘Min Radius’ from 0.429 to 0.250. [edge_holes_2021Oct27c] edge_holes_2021Oct27c.gh (51.4 KB)

Map Curves to Surface

Added a “gutter” slider (blue group) to inset the outer ring of circles, added cut holes (orange group, SLOW!), adjusted some parameters slightly. [edge_holes_2022Sep22b] edge_holes_2022Sep22b.gh (104.8 KB)

Circular Packing on surface edge

I removed quite a bit of extraneous nonsense from your model. Circle packing is down the hall. [edge_holes_2021Oct22a] edge_holes_2021Oct22a.gh (56.1 KB)
