Split data-tree with custom masks. Quad mesh creation employing the derived points?

[ilmar_ik]

I have a grid of points where the structure of points is defined by the data-tree. I want to split/slice the data by a user-specified number of rings starting from the outside (1 ring comprises 2 outlines, 2 rings are formed with 3 outlines). I managed to get the desired output. The attached file is here: data-tree-quad-mesh-discourse.gh (21.2 KB)

However, I have two questions here:

1. Is there any more efficient method with less split masks in order to get the same output?
2. How can I employ the derived points for the creation of a mesh surface with quad mesh faces?

Thank you,
Ilja

Hi Ilja.

could you try to create some regions based on the data you already have? these could be rectangles, you could weave every second, extrude a simple brep and test for point in brep inclusion…?

This could be a way of using one slider value for splitting mask.
you’ll need weaverbird plugin’sMesh From Lines(Weave Back) component.
