group surfaces with same areas

Hi there,

my situation:

.I have n number of panels with different dimensions

.I would like to schedule all the panels according to the area (20 panels 2sqm, 30 panels 3 sqm,...

I sorted the area and I manually filtered with equality component the panels, but I would like to avoid to review manually each value, since changing the number of panels the value change.

thanks in advance!

No code, no help.

This almost worked, except for the bottom row of rectangles...

Here's something that appears to work using 'Member Index (MIndex)'. Curves are internalized; 'Crvs A' just as you defined them and 'Crvs B' re-arranged arbitrarily (otherwise, it was too tempting to just use their Z positions to group them). It does depend on the curves being rectangles... (two dimensions to compare).

interesting! it works, but there are some bugs due to the geometry:

1-when you have square (= same dimensions x and y) it returns 2 elements

2-if some rectangular shape is sharing same dimension the definition is computing the same shape twice (first with dimension x and then with dimension y).

probably the best way is to manually select the dimension I want to use as a filter.

I thought was the easiest part sorting all the shapes, is becoming an endless story!

btw thank you Joseph!

Handling the duplicate squares was easy (is my code so complex that you couldn't fix it?).

Not quite sure what you mean by #2? Specific example please?

If you mean it's possible for curves to appear in more than one branch at the end, well... so what? There are three identical rectangles in branch '{0;1}' of the results that also appear in branch '{0;0}' - is that what you mean? I don't see that as an error. since the common/filter length in '{0;0}' is 1020 while the common/filter length in '{0;1}' is 1087.

the problem is that if you have a rectangular shape 1020*340 and another 680*340 it happens that the first one is included both in the 1020 and 340 filter.

I'm working with a 340*340 grid and my filter are 680--1020--1360

I need to select only those 3 filters.
