Cull Pattern Problem in making octagonal pattern

Hello

I've made pattern of octagons based on point grid. I used cull patterns and Tree Branch components. At the end I found out that the figures are not connected together but offsetted of 1 grid "cell". I'm wondering, how to modify my definition to encloser the octagons. I want them to "touch" themselves. Do you guys think that's possible without big changes? Is my way of doing this pattern correct ?

Probably easier that way

But what when I wan't to put it on non two dimensional surface with divide surface? I think it won't work. I wanted to prepare my pattern as a pre- layout for further modifications, based on point grid.

Systemiq can You explain me how "Relative Item 2" in that definition and what is the logic of writing of "offset of relative combo"? I don't understand it exactly.

vertical and horizontal lines of the octogons are obtained from culled points.

The cull pattern takes into account that the lines share some points: with pattern true-false-false-true, you end with points tffttffttfft... etc, when you need tfftfftfftfft.... Thats what wasnt working in your script.

the lines are organized in columns (structured in data trees).

RelItem2 is used to match the vertical (A) and horizontal (B) lines:

for example offset {-1}(1) will match the element i in branch n from A with the element i+1 in branch n-1 from B. So you can construct diagonal lines properly.

Your method will work too if you properly do cull patterns .

oooooooooo -> o__o__o__o with pattern true-false-false

but -> o__oo__oo_ with pattern true-false-false-true

The easiest way with Starling http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/starling ...

Can You guys explain me why it doesn't work? Isn't that possible only with cull pattern as Systemiq said?

can someone take a look at my last excercise? I'm trying to learn, easy manipulate the point-based 3d patterns. Still have some problems but little bit closer I think :)

Shift and Flip matrix will make it work.

Thanks Alan Tai but the file You attached doesn't work on my GH. Message appears as in image and than " I have no idea what You want me to do". Can You send it again please?
