algorithmic modeling for Rhino
I have a question about scaling objects using attractor points:
I have stacked a couple of truncated octahedrons perfectly together, so there is no space between the surfaces and the elements do not intersect each other (see image).
Now I'm able to scale each element according to their closest attractor point, but in this case the truncated octahedrons intersect each other, or do not touch each other at all.
So my question is, does anyone know a solution to scale these objects individually, with the intention that the truncated octahedrons are still perfectly stacked (so no intersections and space between the surfaces)?
The rhino file and grasshopper definition are attached.
Regards,
Rutger

You cannot resize them with different scaling factor, keep them all touching on all faces, and keep them as octahedrons. Something's gotta give.

Incidentally you cannot upload RAR files to Ning. You'll have to use ZIP, which is a much better idea anyway as not everyone can open RAR files.
