Tabs for folded aluminum model

[laurent_delrieu]

Hello
sorting which piece uses tab and the other rivets is easy using topology an ncolor tool

Four Color Theorem in Grasshopper

Here a new version of n Color of faces with non similar color for adjacent faces. I add some improvements. And it seems to give good agreement for most of the uses. it no more uses SandBox. So the script needs : Face-Face topology so it could be brep topology or mesh topology or whatever… Seed : a seed that is useful to change the patterns A number of color wanted (lowest possible =2), but with autonoumous mode the number of color will be augmented if no solutions found nextColorNotRandom, if…

I use one of my tool for the topology but there are some plugins topology.

Sandbox Topology

Here you see that this need just 2 colors so the answer is trivial. If the topology imply 3 colors it will lead to more complexity. Like for the cube
