Hi guys, I would like your help. I have 3 different curves on the same plane. I need to move them on z axis. Then I need to select them in a way they dont repeat, they need to be random. On the right I did it by hand. I figured out a way but its repeating at least twice like the second image. Wha…

Sure! Easy and no plug-ins required! I realized I made an error in my original script. The domain for indexes need to have an upper limit of (ListLength - 1). I have adjusted this here. If you do not want repeating indexes, and since we are working with a one dimension array, you can increase the …

This one is pretty easy. Start by creating a list of your curves. Then create an array of planes in the desired direction. Then orient your curves to the array of planes by creating a list of random indexes, which has a domain equal to the number of curves in your list. Hope this helps. [image] …

Thanks for your feedback. But did you notice the one you did, the square shape repeat twice in a row. I need them to be sorted randomly but cant repeat. has to be something like this 0,1,2,1,2,0,1,2,1,0… and not like this. 0,1,1,2,1,1,0,2,1,2,2,0… (notice there are numbers repeating twice…) Than…

Hello you could apply the 4 color theorem to your problem. [image] Four Color Theorem in Grasshopper Grasshopper Hello, I’ve created a script that takes a surface that is divided up and randomly dispatchs them into 4 groups. I was wondering how I could take it further a…

Thank you! Will give it try on this one, looks very interesting. I used colors just be visual, at the end I wont need the colors. But looks like I can extract the list I am looking for. Thanks

[image] James C: at the end I wont need the colors. Indeed there are no colors, just indexes (integer here).

The advantage to this approach is it will always be truly “random” (pseudo-random anyway), and the randomization can be adjusted by changing the seed. I’m not exactly sure how the plug-in @laurent_delrieu suggested works, but it appears to be more algorithmic than random (meaning you will always ge…

This uses Jitter for randomness but it’s very difficult to find a ‘Seed’ that never repeats. Maybe an Anemone loop would work? Or maybe the premise is misguided? [randomly_2024_Jul23a] randomly_2024_Jul23a.gh (10.7 KB)

Hello @baileydw you are right this simple approach doesn’t need plugin. The “n color” method has the advantage to be be more generic has it uses topology. The tool I made also use the same random (.NET random) and there is 2 modes, one that limit the number of colors (2 here) or another like your …

[image] Laurent Delrieu: you are right this simple approach doesn’t need plugin. Yet your code requires Nautilus. :frowning: :man_facepalming:

Yes and no as the tool is freely available on the link I provide. [image] Four Color Theorem in Grasshopper Grasshopper Here a new version of n Color of faces with non similar color for adjacent faces. I add some improvements. And it seems to give good agreement for most o…

Move items randomly without repeating consecutively

Yes and no as the tool is freely available on the link I provide.

And you wanted to use Anemone, so you can keep your useless comment to yourself. Anemone is a plugin. And please help us to find the flaw in @baileydw script that could explain why there are not an equal number of items
