Hello,
I have this arrangement of blocks that I am trying to create a pattern from; with the condition that the gap between each block increases the further along it gets.
I tried using a pull point but the gaps remain constant.
My professor created an algorithm using 1 block that demonstrates the effect I’m trying to get with the pattern, but this does not work when I plug in multiple breps.
Ideally, I’d have one slider to control the distances
Thanks.
please upload your .gh file + internalized geo. Regards, Eef
dear Arenahab,
I made a kind of solution, by orienting the blocks to a new place.
To find those new points I scale all blocks and only use the centre of the block +
orient original block to new plane.
(PS By setting the plane of the scale NU you can change direction)
You might have to think about those gaps. What to do if four blocks (blue) have the same size as one yellow block. The number of gaps is not equal, so you have to decide, to accept an irregular outline (as I did) or find another way to fine tune every gap. (what could be done, by not using scaling, but using the advice of your teacher (in an edited way) to move all centers, + orient)

The effect looks like an increased gap the further you move in X. Is this what you want (for all boxes) or are you trying to increase the gaps between them in all directions (expansion)?
Hi Rene,
Correct, I’m trying to increase the gaps in x direction only.
By the way @Eef_Weenink, when I open your file, this is what comes up:
Seems unrelated? I think it’s geometry from here.
Excuse, uploaded wrong file. Fixed it. Please remove it, it was a draft, not meant to be uploaded
In Rhinoceros the command is
ScalePositions
It is similar to @Eef_Weenink solution. The idea is to move a geometry with a vector proportional to the distance to a point. Vector that can be 3d, 2d or 1d.
Eef, thank you for your help, I’m learning a lot more about the software from your algorithm.
Cheers.
