"Hi Uto,
It seems that somehow i'm not able to link ecotect and grasshopper.
Could you recomend a solution?
I'm using the right versions, at least, I downloaded them this week so that can't be it I think.
Do you know what…"

How to find shortest distance between to curves
10 Replies
Hey, Could anybody help me finding the points on a curve that is closest to the next curve.I know there have been a few other discussions about the subject but not about the amount i'm talking…Continue

I´ve an older everbird, but your metaballs will work if you put one more slider like the green one (see photo)..."
Daniel Piker replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion Use a metaball curve planar to Kangaroo in the group Kangaroo"Hi Thijs,
Your definition is almost there - it's just that the points you have chosen as anchors do not coincide with vertices of the mesh, so they do not restrain it. You could fix all the edge points of your mesh like this:

Use a metaball curve planar to Kangaroo
Hey everybody!Is it possible to use the curve of a metaball as a surface input in kangaroo?I can't figure it out, still quite new in the area of kangaroo. Thanks!See More

Andrew Heumann replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion How to find shortest distance between to curves"Here's the script - should be pretty fast and very accurate. "
Andrew Heumann replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion How to find shortest distance between to curves"If you're willing to get your hands dirty with scripting, there's an SDK method for exactly this: Rhino.Geometry.Curve.ClosestPoints. It will find the point on each curve which is closest to the other curve."
Systemiq replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion How to find shortest distance between to curves"Aaah lot faster ! It seems also pretty accurate."
Jacek Jaskólski replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion How to find shortest distance between to curves"Nice,
I took a shot at optimizing it a bit, if anyone's interrested.(used Proximity 3d + Curve CP to select "promising candidates" for shortest distances, not very generic but works well for this case)"
Systemiq replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion How to find shortest distance between to curves"Not optimized at all."
Thijs van der Lely replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion How to find shortest distance between to curves"Ahh, your the best!
do you have the grasshopper file than I can check how you did it."
Systemiq replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion How to find shortest distance between to curves"Here is an attempt using Kangaroo (points constrained to circles and attraction between points). I wonder if its perfect enough for you."
Thijs van der Lely replied to Thijs van der Lely's discussion How to find shortest distance between to curves"Thanks for your reaction.
That is it but some using the other circles, some how it got baked it wrong,
This is the one in ment
