Hi,
I’m trying to reduce the number of panel types by comparing each panel’s area against the others within a tolerance that I can specify.
As you can see in the image below, the difference between these two panels is 1.03, which is acceptable for grouping.
However, when I apply this logic to a larger set of panels, it doesn’t work correctly, and I can’t figure out how to continue with the grouping process.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can separate the panels by matching their areas within a tolerance, so I can reduce the total number of types and make the panels more standardized?

Dear Ahmed,
Looking at your gh. code I see you compare the area of every panel to the one 1 higher in the list. I think that is a fundamental error.
I advice to use the average area or the median area to compare with.
As you can see the differences are very small within a range of 0.0003 (unless I made a mistake)
regards, Eef

Hi @Ahmed_Alnaseri,
I wonder if this can be an approach for you—may be related to what @Eef_Weenink brought up earlier:
