algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Desire:
To create a half tone pattern from an image
Challenge:
To only output circles of .25" diameter
Process:
I began by modifying someone's file I found on the internet.

They created a 3D file for CNC milling hence the panel descriptions that mention z-axis movement and etc. I only need a 2d output of circles.
I successfully input my own image into their file and created the halftone pattern. The problem is that the output pattern creates a circle for every point on the 1" grid and the pattern is created by varying the size of the circles. I have tried to modify the file to only draw circles of .125 radius but I could not figure it out.
Work Around:
The circles currently drawn would be fine if I could find a way to select ones of a certain size. If I could select all the circles of a radius between .05" and .125" I could then create a point at the center of each of the selected circles and redraw the circles with my desired .125 radius. I then tried modifying another file I found online to select circles of only a certain size.

However I was unable to get it to work as the circles output in the halftone pattern have a wide range of radii. I could not figure out how to select the circles within the output range of radii.
Any suggestions would be a huge help!
Thanks
Zak
