"Thats good! - I did a similar thing when I got it working, but never took it beyond an idea into a more complex project. Yours looks like you're planning something on a real site - out of curiosity, what is the project that you're using it…"

"Hi, im working on my thesis project and it uses growth, i downloaded your definition and modified it to grow inside a brep, this is one of the results of the growth process. thanks for sharing the initial gh file its been really useful !! "

"Hi Mariana, Mike asked me to post the script that I was working on. It's not exactly the same, but it works on similar principles. It starts with a 'food source' of points, that in this case are randomly placed, but could just as…"

"I also added the second output of Bang to the second input of merge/entwine, to keep trace of cubes. I dont think swapping merge for entwine really solved any problem, entwine just make cleaner paths in your case. Merge will mmh well errm merge data…"

"Thanks very much for that! - It seems to work as I was expecting now. As far as I can see, the only parts you changed were swapping 2x 'merge' for 'entwine', and adding a limiting factor into Hoopsnake. Do you think it was either…"

"I can't really find your bug, modified a bit your def and it seems to work, but it wasnt working 1 minute ago with same modifications. I remade it with a new HS component and it looks ok. Probably some malfunction in Hoopsnake. "
