s, indeed, surfaces are flat to 0.001", you can walk a straight edge around the surfaces and they are flat. Here it is 3d machined in 6061 aluminum, 20" long, 12 " wide, about 1" deep…
s of each of the splines themselves. Please ask if that explanation needs to be clearer.
It will essentially be 12 twisting/contorting columns.
I've tried using the Box Morph but, I'm not getting the results I'm looking for.
Thanks everyone.…
one can see how the drainage paths generated from a series of fixed sources shift to find the slopes and valleys in the terrain.
For each source point, the algorithm:
1. finds the downward sloping direction
2. moves in that direction a designated distance
3. finds the closest point on the surface
4. if this new point is not higher or too close, then
5. it repeats from the new point.…
n cells and square cells.3. the tringle cells to be as holles in between the extrude shapes. (in the tringle cells I don't want to contain a 3d shape).4. The extrude of Hexagon and square should be gradual: from 2d shape on the grid, to 3d shape (by extruding and atrractors point)5. than to manipulate the grid by gradual enlarging and reducing it, etc. Therfore, as start I would like to create the grid when each shape cells will be sorted in separate array. Than to flow the grid along a 3d surface.
(all above I need to create in grasshopper).

and 3d rapid prototyping using state of the art material simulation and optimisation. Participants will be guided through methods of advanced structural analysis and evolutionary algorithms implemented in Grasshopper, Karamba and Octopus in a 5 day workshop taught by Robert Vierlinger and Matthew Tam within the premises of the Academy of Fine Arts & Design in Bratislava, Slovakia. The workshop will cover the basics of setting up a karamba definition and more advanced form finding techniques with beams and shells through to preparing files for 3d printing and 2d documentation. For the Grasshopper newcomers there is a preparatory crash course on 20 July 2015 taught by Ján Pernecký. The workshop will be held entirely in English.

geometric components (same dimension what change is just material properties here simplified with different colours)
2) Create a 3d grid where each point is the centroid of my octahedron.
3) Evaluate grid points distance from a given surface (as shown in pic 2 - note that grid at moment is just a 3d rectangular grid so it does not work)
4) populate the point cloud with my geometry components according to the insertion point (centroid) distance from a given surface(dividing domain in as many intervals as needed).
The components are regular polyhedra so I think it won't be too difficult to create a 3d grid which will fit the scale of these - having in mind the points are centroids.
What I am struggling more is how to organize the code for point 4. Is there any useful VB.net classes I can use for this case? Have you some kick-start ideas or suggest similar code I can take as example to develop mine? What kind of nested loop is more suitable for this case?
As a novice to VB.net any advice is greatly appreciated! Merry Xmas
