"Hey Andrew,   Im working on simmilar goal as you for my thesis project.. I would like ( if possible) to see some update as you suggested?    "

"Hello, I am new to GH, so apologies if my question is incredibly basic. I am trying to use the Voronoi3d.ghuser component and I have placed it in the "User Object Folder". But it doesn't load as other components I have placed in that…"

"very nice component thank you very much. works a bit slow but its works with all BReps, thumbs up!"

"Hi In grasshopper choose  file-special folders-user objects, and copy Voronoi3d.ghuser to this folder. Component will in user."

"I agree, the cluster  is ready and easy to use. Setting a brep boundary isnt very hard with Qhull (with latest Dimitrie's component), for some reason I couldnt use directly Dimitrie's defininion properly, but I used it as seen in the…"

"For me qhull is slower dunno why, I'm on a MBP intel i7 quadcore sandybridge w/ 8gb ram. I think the benifiet if the cluster though is it ease, especially for beginners. I find qhull a tad tedious to control, and I like in the cluster how u can…"

"Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but Qhull is still a lot faster. For 100 points : Qhull(+breps creation/intersection)= a few seconds when 3DVoronoi = 1 min For 300 points : Qhull about 12 seconds versus 7.2 minutes for…"

"kinda makes me wonder why people use qhull then."

"Yes, I didn't realize doing things the proper way was so much slower. I replaced the boxes from this definition (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/voronoi-2) with planes and boolean differerence. It runs 4 times faster."

"Nice! For example, there are 3D Voronoy script VB"

"Already on it. I'm working on using 3D voronoi to define programme and structure for my current studio design. Will upload pics when its working better."

"Just to a look and I am surprised at how simple this is, excellent. Maybe you just obsoleted qhull. Yours is much faster. Now the hard part, finding a logical architectural meaning to apply Voronoi aside from aesthetics.   "

"you can open the cluster to take a look. Great thing Nikolay noticed is the way brep - brep component works with surfaces (substracts everithing undert the surface so he used this feature for his voronoi."

"Pretty cool. What are the components used for this cluster. I'm interested to know because most others just use qhull."
