Hello, after using the code in 3D elongated Voronoi design I created a voronoi structure with straight edges, not edged as the start up example.
I noticed that whatever I do, there is a vertical continuous edge from top to bottom as seen in the attached image.
.
This appears in cylinders as well as in other shapes.
I tried a cone for exampe, same continuous straight line appears again.
I cannot understand why this is happening, I am guessing the reason might be the solid difference and the fact that voronoi3d poppulates voronoi points in a box initial distribution.
Is there any way NOT to create this peculiar straight line automatically? It ruins all the randomness of the constrution. Thank you!
Here’s a solution I cobbled together some time ago. It requires the Dendro plugin which does things that are mysterious (to me at least), but it’s the end result that counts, yes? The MDiff at the end is to give the geometry a flat bottom so it can be 3D printed.
Your problem are the edges that are produced by the pipe I replaced it with a cylinder so I can extract the seam and then removed the edges that have zero distance from it. There might be better solutions though. (same thing applies for the cone)
one tip: I am guessing you used pipe to place it bellow the floor. as you can see, if you plug the bottom vertex to the base of the cylinder you can have the same result.
Edit: @Joseph_Oster 's solution seems better. I saw his as I was uploading this…
Hello again, after examining and trying to understand better the examples you provided I noticed a couple of things I am sharing with you.
Both the Joseph_Oster and the Aris examples seem to adress the problem as I understand by deleting the unwanted edge after it has been created. Moreover at the base of both of these solutions, and the original gh file that I stareted with which I just now noticed, there are (only at the base) 3 unwanted connections that actually do not intersect with anything (no nodes when they cross other lines). Is there a way not to create the unwanted edges at all in the first place instead of deleting them ?
In my pc, I don’t have these lines. It might be your rhino unit settings:
(Rhino/File/Document Properties/Model Units/ absolute tolerance)
it is generally advised to have this at 0.001 or lower, otherwise it affects the precision of the calculations.
