Circle packing with Kangaroo. This is a compact packing (connecting the centres of tangent circles produces a triangulation)

    I would like to create a domed structure with this pattern that would be constructed out of wood. The form is a Diatom.

    I have an irregular boundary, with an off axis center. I believe the best way to do it is via Circle packing. Is that correct?

    My boundary is on the 3dm file atached
    Im not sure even where to start. I would love some help from you and the community!
    Thanks in advance
