Hello
like said by @bvr “Shortest Walk” is one of the simplest, but you’ll have to make the various paths and the tool will calculate the shortest

This tool seems also interesting if you deal with people

Flow

and if you want something like

@diff-arch

gradient (vector) field

you can look at that, but it could be quite long and it is just on a Mesh

Gradient Flow on Mesh

Here a different use of Gradient Flow. I have a Voronoi pattern that needed to be printed with just one path [image] Of the idea is to offset it, make a Spanning tree that links the cells [image] And then bridge the cells [image] Lets say I put a weight of 100 of the red dot and 0 at all others places. And then I smooth the weights. I could also use geodesic distance or heat flow. [image] Gradient Flow of the weight gives that [image] [image] [image] [image] Weight Smoothing C…
