I’m trying to build planarization for a convex shell. However, the YouTube video that I’m referring to uses old Kangaroo version. I’m using Kangaroo 2.42 version in Rhino 6. The old Kangaroo uses planarize component uses vertices parameter. However, the latest version uses mesh parameter. What shoul…

HexPlanar_help.gh (39.1 KB) Slide up the highlighted slider to make the faces planar. I also fixed your surface output

Check this one [image] Laplacian Smoothing in Kangaroo 2 Kangaroo I recently saw another way of keeping planar hexagons in curved meshes ‘nice’, by making sure the points lie on 2 circles. This also allows them to become concave if needed [image] (from this paper: http:/…

I am getting broken paneling. I ran the script as it is. I didn’t do anything to it. [BROKEN%20SHELL] I have following two questions The shared script works on a predecided flat grid on the ground, how can I use its paneling system for an already lofted/curved surface as posted in the origina…

@DanielPiker I request you to have a look at this.

[image] archz2: I am getting broken paneling. I ran the script as it is. I didn’t do anything to it. It’s specifically because you did not do anything with it that some panels are missing. You just have to increase the Planarity strength with the slider on the left (“start low and increase at…

[image] archz2: What I have seen so far that robots have to be used in order to construct it on site. What is a smart way to build such shells made of panels in reality on a smaller scale (let’s say a size of 300mm by 300mm scale model) without having any robots? How would individual angles of …

Thanks for sharing an example. The work really looks interesting. I am still unable to understand how did they manage to deal with angles for -on site assembly.

Okay, that worked. I increased the slighter to get the missing members.

Okay. I have attempted again. Though I’m not sure whether I"m doing it wrong or right as the boundary surface fails to create panels. It only creates 3-4 panels on the edge as seen in the screenshot. The yellow shaded one is the planarized grid. Moreover, some hexagons get really distorted to becom…

You could anchor the vertices at the boundary condition so that the adjacent hexagons don’t get that much distorded

Okay, and what about the kangaroo output not getting converted to surfaces in the boundary surface component?
