I hope you are all well. Fighting with anemone again
I made contours adjusting definition, basically all point inside boundary are made flat and It works.
But I am trying to use Anemone to make new points inside region with slope from 0 to 12%. So I measure distance from centre point of the region to all point to get existing slope and then every iteration I reduce “Z” of every point to get to desired slope %
Logic is correct (I think), but for some reason it doesn’t work as expected?
One thought maybe it will be easier to create a curve between circles centres and then use this curve as attractor which will change points Z value based on distance.
?
Ok I did a quick test with curve attraction. It looks promising.
One thing, currently points effected by curve are rising up from their original Z positions.
I want points effected by curve getting closer to curve middle point Z value. So area of the surface closer to curve centre is as flat as possible?
With Graph Mapper I will be able to control how flat I want it to be
I found your and Nikos scripts which do almost the thing I am trying to achieve. The only thing for some reason it drops all points to plane, don’t keeps them on surface?
Do you know how I might modify it ?
So I made a wee progress. Still something wrong with it.
1.Z values of points of original surface which are closer to curve should be as close as possible to Z value of Curve centre point. Something like this(Still has some strange things happening):
If you want flat regions inside the curve with a smooth falloff to the rest of the landscape, I’d approach it with a weighted average, like this, (no looping or plugins required): flattenlandscape.gh (213.6 KB)
Yes it is kind off what I managed to do. What I was hoping is to change existing Z values of original points based on distance from the vent of the region / or curve.
For example I can build on slopes from 0 to 8% , so there is no reason to make these areas flat. That’s why I thought having a smooth transition from centre of the region towards existing points Z values would be a solution?
I see. One option might be to blend between existing height and fully flattened with another weighted averaging: flattenlandscape2.gh (207.9 KB)
Here the blending factor is applied globally, but you could also use another falloff for this, if you want to keep a point in the middle of the curve exactly at that height.
If a site is intended to actually be built there typically is a desire/need/requirement for the modifications to result in no material being brought to the site or taken from the site. This means that the net change in volume should be zero, and is accomplished by removing material from some areas and filling other areas.
Yep. It is exactly why I was trying to use a smooth / falloff effect from central point of the region. It should (in theory ) provide minimum amount of cut an fill. And make their % equal.
I hope…
So the change I had to make is to project point or region onto desired location on surface.
Hi @DanielPiker
I managed to recreate your definition. Can you explain what you did in these 2 locations of your script?
I think not understanding this part doesn’t allowing me to use multiple curves.
Hi @DanielPiker,
I have added some comments to the script to better understand how it works. I think I got it.
Unfortunately still can’t get multiple regions to work? Site_Adjusted_From_Contours_06.gh (80.0 KB)
