The boundary for a voronoi diagram can only be a rectangle (technically the algorithm can handle any convex polyline, but since Rectangles are the only curve type in GH that are always convex it is limited to that).

You'll have to use Region components to clip your diagram with the boundary after calculating it.

Thanks David.

On a followop question, here im using populate3d since populate2d wont accept any other shape thats note a rectangle, is there any way arround that?

You can create a boundary surface from the curve and then use "Populate Geometry".

And since you can only use rectangular boundary for Voronoi, you can trim the curves after that, with any trimming/splitting/etc component. "Region Intersection" in this case:

Thanks Michael, this works nice also

Yes, using the offset to to use it as boundary dosent work as it expects a rectangle.
