pick faces from a brep

hello everyone,

I'm new in grasshopper and this is my first post.

I'm trying to isolate the faces of my brep randomly in order to assign them different patterns. i thought it would work with a list item but it doesn't.

Any suggestion?

I'm not sure what you mean by "patterns" but here's a possibility using Jitter and colors. Also, if you want to use List Item, you need to flatten the output from Isotrim.

Just realized I left out an input to the gradient.

hi Ethan,

thanks for your answer and sorry if i wasn't clear in my explanation.

I found useful to flatten my brep's faces and i tried to solve the problem with a 'random reduce list node which actually works quite well for my goal but leaves me unable to control the faces excluded.

Do you have any idea of how i can keep control eighter on the reduced list or the faces excluded from the reduced list?

thanks
