Scaling overlapping curves to not overlap

hi,

it is difficult to calculate the scaling ratio as your shapes are not geometrical primitives.

sorting out which ones are overlapping is easy (follow my definition up to the dispatch). the rest is tricky. i've decided to just repetitively scale the overlapping shapes little by little until they are just small enough not to overlap any more. for that i used the Anemone plugin. it required 49 iterations to scale down everything.

the result looks like this

best

Hello Jan,

Thanks for your reply.  I've haven't worked with a looping system and appreciate your help.  I will check how this works

Thanks,

Johnson
