algorithmic modeling for Rhino

extrude point with distance

Hi,

In the last few days I used circle packing that I found on internet, but I can't make a extrude point to the center with certain distance and also I can't make it in layers, in other words, imagine that each circle need some thickness to create a scale model in cardboard, like the image but in cone form.

Thanks in advance,

Ulises

Hi you can try this,

Better than an extrude point to the center you can move your circles according the vector from their center point to the center point of your sphere. If you connect a series to your move you can give a thickness (your step) and a number of layer (your count).

Best,

Xavier

Ok, the circles are crashing between them. Because these circles need to be small

try setting your extrude distance to, say, 1/3 of the circle diameter.
