Cone Zone

Hi All,

This should be a fairly simple problem but I'm a bit stuck to make it into a parametric workflow.

I have 6 families of hexagonal components which correspond to 6 'zones' (colored). how can I acheive a grid that relates to the zone, placing each opening size (Parameter 'FACTOR') to have variation in opening within the 6 different types.

Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Chap.

Hello Chap,

Here is how I would do it : I just added multiple sliders for the different values of Frame, Depth and Factor you want to set in each zone, then you pick the values to apply to each cone depending on what zone they're in.

I hope this is what you're looking for.

Hi FRiou,

That's great.. I learnt a big deal. theres a new problem. Say we have 2 bounding curves with the same region color. What then? Pelase see attached

Ok, here is how I solved this.

First you need to put your curves in a data tree where each branch corresponds to a zone. Then you take your frame values for each zone and duplicate the data to match the number of curves in each branch.

Then you flatten both trees to use them like in the first method.

Good luck !
