Surface creation - define the area - apply pattern - curve attractor

[theodorafiam]

Hello team,
I am new here, these are my first step in gh and I desperately need your help!

I want to define a surface (let’s say it is a floor area), and apply a floor tile pattern within the floor surface. This is my area (photo below) but unfortunately, I can’t apply the tiles exactly within this area (red line). On top of that, I am trying to find the correct tutorials in order to follow and create this kind of pattern on my floor!

I would really love some tips and directions! Thanks a lot!

you will find some example here, it is just some links from a search using Google !!!

Panel grid density with attractor points

Hi all, I’m trying to figure out how to make a panel density gradient with three attractor points. I’ve searched around and found a few scripts that has gotten me this far, but I’ve been stuck on the next few steps. I’d appreciate some advice, examples, etc. What I have so far is a single attractor point with random values to not have a solid body of panels. See below. [image] What I’m trying to do is the following: Instead of using the random tool, I would like to create a pattern that a…

Multiple Attractors with Points / Circles & Cutting Circles out of a Surface

Hi, I’ve created a grid of circles that I would like to scale using attractor points. I’ve used a Minimum component to limit the effect / operating range of the attractor. I haven’t been able to figure out how to add additional attractors to the definition - ideally I’d like to add multiple points.

Randomized Points from a point grid

Control Random Reduce falloff?

Herringbone Reduce.gh (87.6 KB) Hi, I’m currently trying to feather out a facade tile pattern from a specified curve. The idea being the herringbone pattern will be completely solid within the curve and then fade out from there. On the Left Below you can see the desired effect i’m trying to achieve, [191108_A] I’ve managed to get this to work with a simple rectangular grid example but am struggling with how to do it with a predefined set of objects i.e. this custom herringbone pattern [1…

Gradual size increase/decrease across horizontal axis

Hi all, I’m working on a frit pattern that needs to fade from opaque to clear vision glass over a few different glass sizes. The simple way to achieve this would be to use a halftone pattern with a dot that starts large, and fade to nothing on the opposite end. My question is whether there is a script or grasshopper method that could achieve this. See attached image of our current randomized dot pattern that is achieved through randomly deselecting a percentage of objects across a grid. We woul…

Ah thanks a lot, this is soo helpful! Do you know any other tutorials/posts related to applying patterns on trimmed surfaces or shapes according to boundaries?

trimmed surfaces

there are surely others post, but the problem is now different. For a general trimmed surface, if you want same size squares, it is more a mosaic question. There are several posts on this subject. But if your problem is like on your reference image, you have just to cut the squares like it is done in real life with pavements.
So try to be more precise.
Is tile constant in size ?
Is the join between tile constant ?
Is the trimmed surface have dimension which allow a tiling without cuts ?

I desperately need your help!

I understand you could need help, direction … but with a script with just 3 components, I think you are just at the beginning of the learning. So before running try to walk. Deconstruct your problem in smaller problems. There are many solutions to a single problem.
