<p>Hi David,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am trying to follow on of these scripts. Im very very new to grasshopper and im just not sure how to go about doing what i need to do I would like to do something very similar to what is seen on this video using 3 circles with fixed radius. They should create touching tangents and not overlap as seen in this video </p>

<p>So you think you could help me to know how they created that in grasshopper. I would be extremely grateful. :) </p>

<p>Hello Juan,</p>
<p>Actually I haven't. This script is not using any locally defined points of attraction.</p>
<p>I am certain though that if you browse through this forum you will find smething that achieves this effect. Possibly using Kangaroo as I mention in the comment above.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>this is more of a brute-force implementation of circle packing (trial and error). To achieve hexagonal packing which is indeed the tightest, you will have to make a more dynamic algorithm or use kangaroo for a force based packing.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px;">Is this some kind of error, or is this script not meant to pack circles in the tightest way? If so, what is the logic of this script for packing circles?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>In the left is an arrangement with a hexagonal layout, in the right that of the script. </p>
