Surface Tiling

is it possible to control the continuity of the segments of tiles along the surfaces that are NOT perpendicular to each other. If yes, anyone can give a key of searching about the method. example in the link below. Gallery of MÉCA Cultural Center / BIG - 1

Hello
I see that you have not a lot of answers. You are asking a quite “vague” question. As I don’t really see where is your problem, here is what I do.
In order to better search than using the search engine of discourse I search using google with the link of discourse Something like that with images as a result.


Sometime also using the old forum is useful
“site:https://www.grasshopper3d.com tiling rectangle”

For tiling one of first tool is certainly “Paneling tool”

And if you want more help it could be good you bring a script with more explanation on where you can’t achieve what you want.

Looks like a brick pattern to me. Many more images at the link you posted, or this one:

Have you read this page?

#7 at the bottom looks relevant here:

Similarly, questions in the form of “How do I quickly recreate this facade that took a team of skilled professionals four months to figure out?” have a very low success rate.

speaking exclusively about the skin of the building and the hidden beauty in there:

for surfaces that are not parallel to the ground (or close to that) the tile-layering horizontal-line is always parallel to the ground, regardless of the orientation of the surface

a starting point could be Contour, aka sectioning the skin with an array of XY planes

the vertical cuts between tiles (and between tiles and openings) are perpendicular to the horizontal divisions along the plane on which they lie, which means that tiles are always rectangular (unless cut into triangles because they are the boundary itself of a surface)
you can see this better next to the big openings on top left: green lines are a bit on an angle if compared to the red ones, but there is full continuity

looks like continuity between vertical tile|tile separation-lines of different surfaces is kept where the angle between the surfaces is “reasonably close”

Thanks a lot for your reply. I appreciate that, but I don`t think that I asked for someone to do my work for me. I just needed to know where I can start from. Thanks again.
