Offset Multiple by percentage of area rather than a set distance

Area and offset distance ratio?

Here’s a fast iterative approach using the same root finding technique I showed here. [areaoffset] area_offset.gh (13.2 KB)

Offset surface until desired area is met

I think the fastest approach is a script that uses nested intervals in short - two values are narrowed until the solution is within a interval, and the interval is within the needed tolerance. [image] As this approach needs recursion / loops it is a bit painful to implement with pure gh-components. the attached solution uses a c# script component as a startingpoint. the script still will need some fine-tuning regarding error-management, handling clockwise / counter-clockwise curves / star…
