Mosaic problem

Grasshopper

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create a mosaic pattern using only five shapes.
Since I can’t really just use Populate + Voronoi for this, my first idea was to place the shapes one by one in a loop, from large to small.
However, this method leaves quite large gaps between the pieces.

I was wondering if there’s a better way to do this.
I feel like it might be possible to solve it with Kangaroo, but I’m not really sure how to set it up.

I’ve attached a photo showing the effect I’m trying to achieve and my current Grasshopper file.
Any tips or alternative approaches would be super appreciated!

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

i´d say its a nesting problem.
there are addons/ plugins for such problems.
open nest for instance

Yeah, OpenNest did the trick! Thanks a lot for the tip.

But one more thing — right now it nests the shapes from biggest to smallest in order. Is there a way to randomize their placement a bit?”
