How to Pack a Defined Square into a Rectangle/Square

Grasshopper
1

Hi, programmers on the world,

I need to do a grid in Grasshopper for one of my projects, ideally using this method but I am also open for different ways.
My idea is to make it as user-friendly as possible.
First, I want the user to define a shape, of how each cell of a grid will look like.
Then I want them to draw a rectangle/square and pack the defined shape (grid cells) in it.

My question is how to do this :thinking:?

Thank you very much for you interest and help,
Michalina

Not sure from your post what you are after. What is the shape allowed to look like?
If it is just a square or rectangle, the containing box will have to be an equal number of squares/rectangles in width/height right? Simple division stuff, so I assume you need something else?
If it is just the rectangle in a rectangular containing box, you can use the rect. grid component

P.S. There is an unused Square component at the top left of the canvas that should be disabled.

Thanks!
I am new in this community so I don’t know as much rhino as most people do yet :innocent:…
Even though it may seem easy for you, I couldn’t find it out.
I really appreciate the time you gave into the script.
You gave me exactly what I was looking for, you are a lifesaver :wink: .

Thanks, I mean it,
