Hello Igor,

You are using the attactor on the corners of the voronoi cells.  Each corner will be transformed (in your case 'moved' inward) differently because each corner is located at a different position relative to the attractor point.  

If you want an even transformation of cells (such as a scaling operation), you could use the center of each cell as your target points for the attractors.

see attached....

Nathan, thanks for the great tools. I have a question about attractor. Why points located in one place (verticels of Voronoi cells) are different transformed. I believed that superposition of forces of attractor in each point of space is equal(i hope you understand my english).

Mohammad,

I added a official discussion on this topic above since it is an interesting one that deserves more discussion.  I see some interesting potential to evolve this functionality...  I don't have an immediate answer, but please re-post there and I will revisit later on.

Dear Nathan

Another Question!

Do you know how can I find out the ID of a rhino object? I mean I went on your example and added this

polyline 0,0,0 0,10,0 10,10,0 10,0,0 0,0,0 Enter '_SelLast ExtrudeCrv 50 enter _SelPrev AreaCentroid

so that polyline will extrude by 50 and I will have the centroid of the square for later defining the twist axis first point! but the question is how can I now choose the box? First I have to know the ID of the box, right? I did it manually by checking the object properties of the box so it went like that

'_SelID 73636d69-eeb5-4778-838b-ffe341cade32 twist 

again I need a way to choose the ID of the point to select it as the start of twist axis! Anyway i'm loving this piece of tool! it will be great if it could have an output and for example list out the IDs or object name or the geometry ,whatever it is!! 

Thanks again :)

Thanks dear Nathan :)

I just forgot that because of the string like parameter we have I have to put a space to show the next command line! That was small and important! :D
Worked perfectly! This command thing is extra cool thanks again :)

Sebastian:  Good to hear

Mohammad:  Basically the Rhino Command component requires you to enter strings just as you would in the command-line.  

The following command will draw a square using a polyline:

"polyline 0,0,0 0,10,0 10,10,0 10,0,0 0,0,0 Enter"

Note the spaces between the coordinates.  The command is completed with "Enter"

Nathan thank you for the lunchbox. It's awesome and lovely :)

I have a question about the rhino command

I guess if it gets solved it can really open a new arena!!

How can you do automate commands with it?

For example a simple one will look like this:

I want to send command poly line and eventually choose point 0,0,0 and then 10,0,0 and then 30,0,0 and finish the command and get back to grasshopper so i tried a panel with this

ployline

0,0,0

10,0,0

30,0,0

and then enabled the command but it could not get what I wanted! The 0,0,0 will run only after finishing polyline! I tried even counter of firefly to send my commands but I guess I couldnt find out! Is there any hope?

ANd again Thanks Nathan for a great great tool:)

Great, works well, thank you very much

Comment by Nathan Miller on March 11, 2012 at 4:14pm

Sebastian,

Good catch.  Basically, it is trying to create a completed diamond shape with points along the edge resulting in a supper thin panel.  Not suppose to happen!

I created an update (v0.264) with a fix for that component.  I am using a new 'Tri B' logic and seems to be working much better. You can get it at the usual location....  

Comment by Sebastian on March 11, 2012 at 1:54pm

Nathan, thanks a lot for the great tools. Working with the panels components I realized that by using the Triangle B it is generating additional surfaces from the target surface, is this suppossed to be like that? Do you have a way to delete them for further operations?
