Howdy! I’m currently working on a lil project to make architecture workflow more enjoyable. So far I’ve made a script to generate a volume from a single poly, and create windows from points. You move the points, you move the windows, and adjust the polyline to move the walls. The size of everything…

Yeah my bad, you’re probably right. Any idea should have a chance to develop into something new, I was wrong. I was thinking he doesnt know about these tools, since i assumed hes a newbie. Good luck Julian!

I’m experimenting with the possibility to generate plan proposals. Have to admit this is a pretty difficult task. I played around with a script authored by Yang Yankun. It lets you generate plans by pulling rectangles with collision on (Kangaroo?). Here is a link to the original script o…

[image] julian.riise: Have to admit this is a pretty difficult task. :sweat_smile: [image] julian.riise: I need to work on the rectangles-to-viable-plan definition, it’s super buggy. I guess what you could do, once you have the orientated room-rectangles, is separate the outer boundar…

[image] diff-arch: separate the outer boundary from the inner lines to be able to give different wall thicknesses to inner and outer walls A great suggestion, I have an abstract idea of how this might work. I guess the challenge is filtering out what part of any rectangle is exposed to the ou…

[image] julian.riise: I guess the challenge is filtering out what part of any rectangle is exposed to the outside —> thick wall/windows, and what is inside —> thin wall/door. In your case, you can simply perform a regional union, which should give you the outer boundary. Then you can explode …

reminded me of this: [image] Group boxes together as close as possible without overlap Grasshopper Here’s one way: rect_pack.gh (10.5 KB) [rectpack]

Wow, thank you! Will experiment with that :smiley:

[image] julian.riise: if two lines are overlapping, it identifies as an inner wall Here is an example, making circle as trim region and trimming the rectangles to separate inner and outer geometry. It worked fine for two rectangles; But with more than two rectangles it got really messy…

[image] diff-arch: regional union, which should give you the outer boundary Oh yeah, this method works excellent, and only 3 components! [Screenshot 2022-03-14 at 13.21.50]

[image] julian.riise: Will experiment with that This is actually part of my master thesis, but could be an interesting idea to explore plan solutions. I started by defining the intended relationship between rooms with pen and paper. For example Library (“Lesing”) should connect to the open sp…
