Space planning - change spheres to boxes

Hi there,

I am trying to generate a layout for my MArch Architecture project using space programming and such as Marc Syp has shown in his video:

Fortunately Jesse has come up with the following:

I have worked with Jesse's definition (huge help as i'm relatively new to GH) and so far so good. I have added my own attractors and connected up the spaces as required. Currently Jesses's definition uses the areas in my excel spreadsheet to generate spheres. What I would like to do is use rectangular volumes that do not overlap with each other. I could set a fixed height to all volume and so hopefully this will generate more defined floor plans/layouts on multiple levels.

Also, is there another way to demonstrate the text better so that this can be more readable when I present it at uni?

I have attached all the files I have been using if its any help to explain what I mean!

Any help will be massively appreciated!

Thanks

Marc

Hello again.

Right, i have managed to produce boxes that are to the desired floor area and height. What i would like to do but cant find the best way is to have these boxes site incrementally so the sit on a floor level once i run the kangaroo plugin.

I also would still like to know how i could prevent these boxes from overlapping?

I have reattached my up to date working files. Any ideas would be a great help!

Thanks

Marc

Hello,

I am working on my M Arch studio project using space programming for layout and I have a doubt ? Based on what logic these spheres are associated with each others ? I mean are they associated with each other on basis of proximity length or any specific interrelation like travel time?

AND ,

also could you explain how do u calculate the restlength for the whole layout when it should be the addition of radius of adjacent circles ?

Thanks
