Hi Meghana,

firstly, you have very few iterations (last parameter), it should normally be between 300 and 3000 iterations.
On the other hand, I'm not sure what your surface is like, your image is ambiguous (it's always better to attach the geometry or gh file). Maybe it's causing problems.

If problems continue, upload the file (with internalized geometry) if you want better help.

It is also possible that this component does not act as you expect. Randomly generates the amount defined over the entire surface, and try to bring them together as much as possible. It is based on a script with kangaroo 0.99. I'm not proud of it, but circle packing is an iterative/"recursive" process and therefore comes out of the native flow of gh. But do not worry! I am aware that paves are the holy grail of jewelry, and for the next version there will be several good components to make them. In this forum there are better definitions of circle packaging that can serve you in the meantime.

Thank You Daniel for replying 

 I am attaching Rhino file which has a surface.

Well, this component is not suitable for this type of surface (strip type). I suggest that you try to make the pavé with gems from one or two curves components. Then if you want you can optimize the distribution using kangaroo.

ok Thank you Daniel
