I think I am having a problem related to solid intersection for BREPS.
Please let me explain.
I am making voronoi meshing for a box culvert structure. And I am using a solid intersection component to output all the breps inside the box culvert domain.
However, my parent BREP (input skeleton model) also tends to be an output of solid intersection.
Please note, this problem especially happens when the input seed numbers is large such as 29000 as set in attached grasshopper script.
I opened the definition, it took like 4 minutes to compute, in the output of the solid intersection you would expect to find all the portions of 3D-voronoi cells that are intersecting with the initial Brep, but at index 2867 you will find that item is the whole initial Brep instead of just the corresponding cell
It’s easier to identify if you sort by Volume and take last item
I agree with you that it should not happening, and the main problem is that one of the 3D Voronoi cells is completely replaced by the whole initial geometry (if you filter it out, you’ll still be missing one geometry)
I have a couple of suggestions I would try myself but I’m not at the right PC at the moment, but will try later today
the first is to use Solid Intersection only on the Voronoi cells which actually intersect the initial Brep, not the ones that are fully contained in it
the second is to use Solid Difference instead of Solid Intersection, and subtract these empty volumes from the final result:
not sure what result they will produce, because 28K points is A LOT
to be fair, I would expect stuff to work as much as I won’t
About filtering, I tried it, and yes there is a missing brep in my model.
I realized that this problem especially happens if the number of initial points are large such as greater than 25000. It is quite a weird problem.
I am trying to solve in somehow. If you got any working solution then please let me know. I will be very thankful.

(*) the baby Panigale (the V2) is OK for a start.
Other than that post in R5 format any R file that contains your data (BTW: I very rarely use R/GH in real-life … thus R5 is more than enough)
BTW: Are you - by accident - after a Voronoi Grille result? (what an ugly thing this would be). If so study this (an Entry Level take … meaning flat result etc etc).
thank you for response. I feel that you are from another world.
Most of the things in your script just went above my head.
I will try to understand it and resolve my problem.
Note: set action (3rd part) to nothing IF you want to play with the Topology/Shape/“Orientation” of these ugly Vor Polylines (1st part). Reason? the Curve/Curve RegionContainment/Bool Intersection Methods are not exactly Ducati fast.
But the big issue is the crap R Offset part … meaning that in most of cases you’ll get some bananas (missed offsets, that is). Meaning that life sucks.
