Changing density for developable 3d pattern

Hi guys, With the help of my professor I made a definition that divides any surface into 2d triangles with a central triangular voids. They are the result of polylines being offset. What I would like to do is make it so the density of the triangles increase/decrease, like with an attractor point. Right now I have it where the inside and outside "diameters" of the triangles are fixed by sliders. I have attached the .3dm and .ghx files. Any inside would be helpful. Thanks, Sean See More

"Yeah, that worked. Would you mind explaining why the flatten option did that? Thanks a lot."

Making Slots for U & V Struts to fit into each other

Hey everybody, Attached are my rhino & grasshopper file for an attempt at a waffle pattern based on a brep surface. I'm trying to put points at each intersection of U and V top curves, as well as the intersections of bottom curves. I figure if I can locate where the two axes intersect, I can place a rectangle shape there and make slots for the two pieces to fit together. Please let me know of any better way to do this. I've tried using definitions (such as lift architect's) and haven't had…See More
