Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi all,

Please bear with me, as I am extremely new to grasshopper! 

I am an architecture student with the goal of creating an algorithm that can be used to create and analyse spatial configurations in residential architecture. As a starting point, I've attempted to build something that can efficiently pack geometries, that could be representative of architectural spaces. I've looked at similar things other people have done by using Galapagos, so it should be possible.

The two current constraints are that the pieces should fit as tightly together as possible without overlapping. I am allowing Galapagos to control the x,y positioning of the geometries, with a fitness parameter set to minimize the overall bounding box that encompasses the shapes. I have also, (i think), factored in the area of overlap, so that this can be taken into account. This is where I am struggling to make it work. Is is possible for Galapagos to work under both of these constraints?

I would imagine that the next stage would be to allow Galapagos to control the rotation of the geometry, whilst also programming in a way for the area of the shapes to be changed with sliders, rather than drawn in Rhino and assigned in GH. I also imagine a way of programming the desired relationship between the geometries, so that Galapagos can position them accordingly.

Your help or advice with any of this would be very appreciated! Please refer to the attached file with embedded curves.

Thanks!

Hi, have you made any progress with this? If it works in 3D as well and the solver doesn't take extraordinarily long you really have something.
