Hi everyone, I’m working with a surface that I need to subdivide into triangles with equal edge lengths of 500 mm. I’ve tried using Galapagos to optimize the subdivision, but I haven’t been able to achieve a clean or consistent result. I also attempted a solution with Kangaroo, but I’m still not s…

not sure I would approach this with Galapagos, but anyway take in consideration that you are feeding Galapagos all the segment edges of the paneling, which includes these “height of the triangle” lines, and all these “half base” lines: [image] also, you are providing 6300 fitness values: [image…

Thanks a lot for taking the time to review the definition and point out those details — really helpful observations. Regarding the approach: since Galapagos is receiving all the segment edges (including the height lines and half-base lines), and therefore evaluating a very large set of 6300 fitness…

When trying to hit accurate paneling across anything other then completely idealized surfaces, I would use PanelingTools: Equal Grid Across Surfaces - #7 by scottd
