How to triangulate a triangular surface

I know there are ways to triangulate a surface in a conventional way, like the images on the left and in the middle. But I'm trying to triangulate a triangular panel so each sub-panel is approximately same size triangle, like the one on the right. Is there a relatively straightforward way of doing it?

Thanks in advance for answering!

Hi Darren - my definition is built in the latest release of grasshopper, and doesn't use any special plug-ins. However it looks like it's not right for your purposes anyway, since your triangle does not appear to be planar. Glad you found a definition that works for you.

OK, anyway, still appreciate your help ^^

Hey Andrew,

i'm using your definition on my project at the moment. I just started using grasshopper, so maybe there is an easy solution to my problem.

i am now trying to make an offset of the triangles to get the structure for my windows.
somehow this doesn't work.

here is an image of how it should look at some point.

I'm really thankfull for any kind of advice.

Cheers, Simon

Hello All;

I am trying to divide a single curvature surface into equal sized triangles.

There are projection curves over the surface - they are my purlins actually. and baseline of the triangles must follow the purlin curves and they must be equal siezed.

can any body help me with it?
