Yeah, a thing like that for begin it's very nice!

But then i would obtain a thing like "bone' structure"...uhm..I don't know if I can explain myself sorry!

But, for now can you explain me that cluster?...I see components that I never saw in GH...wow

Brep Explode -> Edges -> Join Curves -> Offset (with Planar) -> Fillet -> Surface Split -> Item(0)

So: getting the faces, and for each face : getting the edges , joining edges for a closed curve, offset the edge curve inward, fillet it, cut the face with it, keep the interesting part.

hi systemig,

do you know a way to create points inside the bone structure, with grasshopper?

is it possible to create particle/points inside the shape?
