extracting lists from lists

Hi All,

I am working on a gradient tile pattern with grasshopper (actual tiles for a floor plan)

Using the great tutorials from formularch I am able to create a tile layout that i influence with curves or points (tiles close to the curve get shape A tiles further away get B etc.)

Thus far everything is great, however... all shapes get grouped under the move function, so when baked i end up with all shapes in one layer. This is not ideal. I would like to split the list so i have one function for (in this case) triangles, one for squares and one for circles.

I have tried different ways of culling and dispatching the shapes but all to no avail...

Any suggestions?

thanks!

This works purely on number of edges so It would not distinguish rectangles from squares:

its a start :)
I actually intend to use only squares tiles, so after baking i can assign tiles to the correct material (stone A = material A) and get a visualisation of the actual tile pattern...

Hi Thomas, I agree with Danny that Sift is the key component here, but I would use it earlier on in the definition.

I am getting somwhere with this, however my shift pattern doesn't accept inputs higher than 1... "1. Filter index 2 is too high, data will be discarded entirely"... with pieters example i can get two patterns extracted, however they are somewhat distorted...
