Minimal Path System

Hello grasshopper user,

 

I know there are existing some discussions about that topic but they aren`t precise...

 

I need a solution for simulating a minimal path structure for a road layout in an urban project like the experiments from Frei Otto [wooly paths experiments]

 

I know that it is possible with kangaroo...

 

 

Perhaps somebody already post a definition and i ignore it ;-) I upload a picture with a direct path system...how to get an optimized path system?

 

Cheers!

    Hi T,

     

    if you are looking for a "shortest walk" algorithm among existing curves, this additional Grasshopper assembly should help you. shortestwalk gh
    I've also published the sourcecode, in case you feel like having a look.

    On the other hand, if you want to modify the layout iteratively, probably the best place to ask is the Kangaroo group here.

     

    I hope it helps,

      Hi everyone,

      I also want to find minimal path between several points that I located. I used wooly path but I am not sure which output is correctly the minimal path. Because as time pass, iteration continues. I can only achieve this (in attachment) with woolypath definition which I can't choose the correct path.Maybe treads by kangaroo which I found from Xiaoyi Wu's post is more suitable for me. Can anybody help me to understand the definition? Is it work more efficiently than wooly path for minimal path system? Or is there any other way for finding exact minimal path. Maybe which also give the data of distances...

      I would really appreciate any help,

      Cagla

        Hey all,

        I am trying to create this wooly path also, I have tested the curves in which I have it working, however when i apply a different set of curves, it doesn't work.

        Any ideas?
