generative modeling for Rhino
Evaluate volume
Has anyone found a way to evaluate a volume that is not rectilinear.
My closest idea was to create a bounding box and use the inclusion tool to find points that fall within the volume.

Hi George,
why not just use the Volume component?

Right, looking back I phrased my question weird. Say I want to control a point in a position xyz with some sliders, but have it remain within the volume. My workflow above allows me to do that but was looking for a way to produce less null outputs.

well, you could remove the nulls from the list with clean tree? Is that what you mean?

Instead of nulls, you can make a logic statement - if point is outside volume, then find its closest point on brep...
I dont think other options are avaible... topology of your building is to complicated.

My next step is to have Galapagos control those points. I was running into problems with my fitness due to the high output of nulls. I like the logic statement idea. Thanks, I'll give it a try.

hello george! Have you carried out more than your definition? I am interested in your approach as I would get to evaluate through Galapagos + GECO the best volumetric change by the position of the vertices xyz! do you have any advice for me?

This was the precursor to my other project which you've commented on.
