"Chris, Working perfectly. Just did the whole pattern. takes five minutes and that beats five days! Check your message inbox, I sent you a note. Since I am starting to get a little proficiency in GH, I am going to work next on…"

"Thanks Aaron. I actually make my living as a carpenter doing mostly residential remodeling but I've also worked in prestressed concrete and structual steel fabrication. Behind all of this I have the dubious distinction of being an…"

"Rev6 has all of the curves separated out. I also renamed the inner curves 'Middle' and 'Central'. You can change the naming as it won't effect anything. Those were the only changes I made. If I…"

"Chris, I just added another Tree Branch and Data window so I could separate Inner Curves & Outer Curves. I think I have it."

"Chris, Thank you for putting the Screencast together, it was both thoughtful and helpful. PerpetratorRev5 is working great! The only problems I have is if I try to do the whole pattern, Rhino has problems. I just divide my pattern…"

"Screencast Link Screencast above shows the workflow. Use the files below. It was necessary to modify each a little bit to get to the end. Let me know how it goes."

"Aaron, Rev4 below works off of the centroid rather than an external reference point. This seems to work as we've been hoping. I've only tested it in V4 but it should in theory be completely compatible with V5. That error…"

"Dear Chris, That looks promising! Did you do that in Rhino 4 or Rhino 5? I could only load PerpetratorRev3.gh into Rhino 5. Did you try it on the full pattern? When I tried it on the tiles, the 'BOUNDRY' or…"

"Aaron, I find that the culprit is Rhino 5. When I ran PerpetratorRev2 in V4 there were no problems with open curves. I also tried a different approach with the Rhinoscript to eliminate the visible selection but there was no increase…"

"Repaired Drawing"

Aaron Levine replied to Aaron Levine's discussion Normal Line From Midpoint Of Shortest Side Of Polygon

"Chris, I repaired the six polygons (Offset 001 layer) by re-snapping their control point ends and rejoining so the original drawing is clean. Don't understand it but it is good. The rhinoscript runs slowly but plenty fast…"

"Testing your entire pattern for grouping everything seems to work for me. The only glitch I noticed is where two tiles overlap by a considerable amount. You have to make sure you set the spacing in the grid large enough to keep that from…"

"Here's the complete solution. Use the PerpetratorRev1 file to align and number your tiles. (Forget about the sellast-explode method mentioned.) After you run the PerpetratorRev1 file use the Rhinoscript file below. You…"

"Chris, I am sending you the whole pattern file in Rhino. If you just work with the .oo1 offset layer (blue) and try and select too many polygons, there is an error in the centroid process about closed polygons. I checked the…"
