Closest Points, Diagrid

by Leslie Scheppelmann

Nov 30, 2012

Hello, I'm pretty new to grasshopper and I'm trying to build a diagrid system similar to this one: adaptive surface. I got a definition for a diagrid from Co-de-It and I've been trying to follow the steps in this tutorial. On step 11, I can't figure out how to apply the numbers corresponding to the attractor points in place of the distance numbers so that dependent of the distance from the point, the openings will get bigger or smaller.

    Hi Leslie,

    I can not open your file. But basically you need to use the distance from those two reference points to the centers of the diagrid panels, as input for scaling those panels. Then you subtract the scaled panels from their initial (larger) panels. And that results in panels with "holes". Take a look at the attached definition:

    You will have to install the Lunchbox plugin for Grasshopper, in order for this definition to work.
    Download the Lunchbox from here (click on "Download v0.35 Installer - October 14, 2012").

        Hi  Erick Vásquez, 

        I really appreciate the script you made for the lunchbox surface, I tried it with my surface, the attractor points don't seem making affect to form a diagrid, no density changes, etc. The triangle panels are just still randomly distributed, do you know why?

        Or if anyone else could help that would be every appreciated!

        Thanks!
