Hi Milan,

do you mean inside like "in" the volume enclosed by the surface or like "on" the thin skin of the surface?

Hi Milan,

Try with this.

It's a geometric solution to random points ON any surface.

Hmm.. i tried it but it wont work?? I put rhino file with two surfaces, you can try on them.

Giulio i meant on "ON" surface, but "inside edges"

I still have one doubt: how exactly would you define "better points on surface than freeform cloud"? What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Thanks,

Thanks everyone for responds!

I want to create points on surface for voronoi diagram.

But all definitions for points that i tryied create voronoi that is stretched.

I want to get points that will create voronoi less stretched and with "more regular form".

Here is photo of current (stretched) voronoi form:

Here are gh/ghx files so you can see,

Tnx!

Tnx, i tryied your way, 

I stuck with offset lines on surface.

I want to offset lines so i will get surface for extrude.

This is how it should be looking at the end

The solution I gave will result in some unclosed curves, here is a way to get correct curves:

Now, offsetting may give odd results, but that's another problem.

(If you don't need exact offsets, scaling and reproject curves should work well enough)

I tryied this.

I want to offset lines of voronoi, and than to trim "holes" in rhino and offset solid. (see files)

I think there is problem with offset, i dont know if there is some other solution, because this make some parts with no offset.

See rhino file and gh

I read on some deffinitions, where points follow curvature (number of points) of surface or area of surface...but i couldnt find deffinitions.

I still succeeded with this definition. Tnx!

quick solution:

use evaluate surface with reparameterize option and domains between 0 to 1 like this:
