Paneling Tools

I am trying to get a certain pattern morphed to a surface using Paneling Tools.

The six leaf shape is the base for the design. The overlapping pattern on the bottom left is the look I am after. I want to morph the base shape over a surface and create this overlapping look throughout.

Can I overlay a grid in Paneling Tools? What is the best approach to get this accomplished.

The grasshopper file for the result shown below is attached.

Thank you,

Oliver

Sorry for a late reply. You will probably get a faster respond if the question is posted to the PanelingTools group.

The hardest part is to try to isolate the smallest repeated pattern within a rectangular grid. This can be tricky.

In you case, it looks like this:

The next step is to create a suitable grid that minimize distortion, and populate the patter on top:

Hi Rajaa,

I appreciate your help... no need to apologize for a late reply - I just joined the Paneling Tools Group and will post related question there in the future.

Your answer is just what I was looking for. It makes sense once you see how it is done - Egg of Columbus Style.

Thank you,

Oliver
