Measure the min and max radius of each inner part, dependind on the step you choose, divide the inner part in N parts N = (int)((radius max- radius min)/step)
And now you can smooth the curve network with 2 components from Nautilus

thank you! At the moment I have created a surface from the starting circle and splitted the surface with the cells. Is there a topic where someone explains how to measure the min and max radius of the parts? Cheers!
Just measure the distance (radius) between center and all the points of the surface/brep/mesh … and then search for Min Max !
I think I got it, and should I use the divide surface component to divide the inner parts?
I surely used split surface and I splitted with lines.
Hey y’all, I’m coming from Rhino 8 and I’m trying to do the same things y’all did here with the Lilly pattern but I don’t have access to Shortest Walk nor Line Topology. Here’s what I got so far thank you for any possible help
Those are only images of what you got.

Lil rude there Mr. Oster I’m just new and asking for help. Now I will say thank you and take your advice instead of being a dick back but I really wanna. Again my problem is that I’m trying to work out this lily pattern but I don’t have access to Shortest Walk or Line Topology. Is there any way to get it to work without these functions or any way to copy their effects? Any assistance would be appreciated as I only have a year of experience in rhino and a month in grasshopper

Hello,
whatever your experience first thing is to try to find the patterns, the logic, the algorithm … that could solve your problem. I think most people lack this first part of the job. After that the question is how to achieve this in Grasshopper. Most of the time there are many ways and some are not easy to find because of language, experience … but by default you must think it is doable with grasshopper. So it become like a Lego, I have this piece what pieces can be used with this one …
I surely used Shortest path because it is natural for tree pattern.
Another way of thinking is
Each point on level (n+1) is connected to THE closest point on level (n).
So you’ll need closest point component
You’ll need 2 data tree with same number of branches, one representing rings/levels (n), one representing rings/level (n+1); you can easily do it by using groups, shift and shortest list then ungroup. Guru of datatree have surely a way with with “Path Mapper” but I don’t like this tool because I forgot too easily how it works
So here is one way

I don’t see why you can’t get the Shortest Walk and Lime Topology components.
I have Rhino8 and I have these components.
I think you just need to install the right plugins.
Hey, I’m trying to rebuild Laurents design. Thanks for sharing the script for the “veins”! I’m learning a lot from it. Since I’m a beginner I’m struggling to build the circular inner parts (I marked part of them red) myself. I tried to rebuild the script Margineanlxndr uploaded and add the tips from Laurent but I can not get it to work. I tried a lot and would be really greatfull for some additional help!
