diamond vase.gh (13.8 KB)
hello everyone, so i have a diamond pattern vase. im trying to control the average point of each diamond so it goes toward the center of the vase depending on its height. now i tried everything but the main problem is that the points are organised vertically instead of horizontally by height. tried to flip matrix, and all kind of list sorting and rebranching but nothing seems to work. i was wondering if anyone knows how to solve this problem.

Combine them for the best of both worlds.

Organizes your surfaces into tree structure. Append @Measure 's script.
btw still did not work.
It works fine. Describe your problem with what I have done more closely.
when i shift the points you are proposing and connect them to the one proposed toform a line they still create a vertical line not horizontal.
That may be. I don’t know by what method you are trying to collect and “shift” points. The OP requested that the points be organized
which is what they are now.
but anyway thanks! i might be stuck in a way of thinking and need to rethink the whole approach diamond vase VR 04.gh (24.9 KB)

I get it now. you arranged the surfaces by height not the points. thats very kind of you thank you.
Yes, well, I assumed you would be drawing points from the faces. Sorry if I was mistaken.
tried to work with what u did. it is interesting but i couldn’t get where i need to. i am basically trying to add a center point to each lozenge (diamond) so i can alter the shape of this new diamond. i got to a point where using spacial deform it works but its deforming the surface as if im pinching a fabric while all i wanted is to kind of have a losange divided by 4 triangles and when moving the center they get altered in a triangular very low uv count. and thank you for the last response

Could be modified with @Measure 's script for more scaling control. And the diamonds that are currently triangles at the seam need to be fixed.

I sorted the points of each diamond into groups and made planar triangular surfaces from the points.

This is pretty clean. I didn’t think of using extrude point to get the triangles.

I think my approach might be better. But just in general the surfaces could be better constructed from the get go, i.e., without LunchBox’s Diamond panels, so that the points are in order, and then the surfaces constructed from them.
