Hi everyone,

I’m working on my final project and I need something like Circle Packing that packs circles or hexagons in a curve. I’m very new to Grasshopper. I was wondering if you tell me how I could install the plugin and if there is any tutorials. I have been looking, but I didn’t find anything.

Please find my curve attached.

Thank you very much in advance!
Mehdi

you should type “circle packing” in the forum search bar, there are already many posts treating exactly this subject and many very elegant solutions (mainly or maybe even exclusively from Daniel Piker).
