"Snake scales" - Distribute on narrowing surface

by Leonardo Aguiar

Dec 5, 2016

Hi GHers,

I'm trying to distribute geometries on a surface that gets narrower and I'm stuck as to how to reduce the number of geometries as the surface gets narrower. The attached picture shows how the number of geometries is too much at the narrow end of the surface.

Is this a circle packing/nesting problem?

Could anyone indicate any good documentation on how to solve this issue?

Thank you so much for any help.

    Could you post the grasshopper file you're working from? Make sure to right click on both of the geometry inputs and click "Internalise Data".

      Hi guys, any help?

      I actually need to control another variable. The size of the scales need to be slightly smaller are the narrower parts of the surface and slightly bigger at the "fatter" parts of the surface.

      Thanks.
