Wallacei - Desperate help regarding shape cluster optimization

Hey guys, I’ve been trying this for a long time and have always ended up with outcomes that are entirely different than what I had expected. Deadline is coming up soon and I am stuck on the logic behind this.

The goal is to define 2 groups of 3 rectangular shapes (they function as basic programming blocks for my architectural project on a lot that is ~40m by 8.5m) that are optimized through Wallacei to give the following result:

  • each shape is defined by an area domain constraint
  • they also have an aspect ratio constraint as I do not want thin, long blocks of shape
  • since the lot boundary has 4 sides, the goal is to have each of the three rooms touch as many different sides of the boundary as possible
  • the two groups of shapes shall overlap as minimally as possible

Basically, I want 6 shapes that are evenly distributed, various sizes but within a constraint, and cover most of the lot as much as possible. I just started Wallacei and the outcomes 80% are not what I wanted. I would really appreciate some help or tips! Thank you so much :slight_smile:

P.S. I did not include the Wallacei component in my GH file below as I somehow could not save with the component in the script.
