"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."

"Aaah lot faster ! It seems also pretty accurate."

"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)"

"Not optimized at all."

"Here is an attempt using Kangaroo (points constrained to circles and attraction between points). I wonder if its perfect enough for you."

"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  "

"Hi, Is there a way to do it for circles packet on a sfeer? I tried the way Jacek Jaskolski but even with my i7 it keeps crashing.      "

Thijs van der Lely replied to Daniel Piker's discussion Packing circles on surfaces in the group Kangaroo
"He Daniel, I have a question that I was wondering if you knew the answer to.   In your grasshopper file the circles still have a small overlap. Is there a way to remove this?   In are project we want to pack a surface with cones,…"
