Shape Morphing

Hey guys,

I have been using grasshopper for a little while right now and i have been having difficulties with morphing a rectangle based box into a squared base box, the catch here is that both bases have the same area and the iterval between them should remains with the same area as well. what I need is this series of different boxes created and where i can control the number with a slider.

I would rather not use a mesh but any help would be amazing..

i've been killing myself for something that i think someone can find quite ridiculous..

thank you for your help.

Like this?:

All expressions in inputs are dividing the value by 2.

thanks so much

Just my 2 cents to the topic (Vicente approach is perfectly good). You can control minimum rectangle edge length too.

This like the response on top spot on but unfortunately my version of rhino is 4.0 not 5 and does not have a newer version of grasshopper.. I cant read this file :(

There are ~10 components in the definition, I'm sure you are able to recreate it from the screenshot in a matter of minutes.

I got it ;)

is it possible to input the dimensions of the first rectangle? because it finishes in the square which is perfect.

I am trying here to put a difference in height and it worked perfectly but i needed it to be higher, higher than a cube like a highrise pointblock building so i used the functions i have but i would like to have more control, is there a way of making it raise from 3 to 3 meters? maybe it would be easier if a stacked floors gradually.. not sure. what do you think would be the best way to do it?

Here i got to the stacking and controlled the height but there is an error somewhere and i wish i could establish a range, or the first rectangle's plans dimension and i wish i could make it higher than a cube in the last one.. is it possible?

i uploaded my file here if you could have a look it would be great! the stacking is in the purple group..

thanks for all the help :)
