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

ves not fat beams.
(3) Extract the triangular "unit cell" from one of the faces.
(4) Simply move/scale them into place onto each 3D mesh face using box morph or equivalent transformation.
(5) Flesh out the truss lines with various plug-ins, especially Cocoon marching cubes.
Now looking at Intralattice, I see nearly the exact same workflow!:
"1. We first begin with a cell component, which will generate a unit cell. This unit cell is the basis for the lattice topology.
2. The next stage involves a frame component, which will populate a design space with the unit cell, based on various parameters.
3. The final stage involves a mesh component, which will convert the lattice wireframe (a list of curves) to a solid mesh, which can be 3D printed."
Distinction: my definition is for thick surfaces that enclose empty space. Intralattice is more fully filling 3D based on a 3D unit cell. Mine is for what may be called a 2 1/2D or 2.5D cell since its completely reliant on the pseudo 2D form of a mesh surface despite it's 3d curvature.…
e other spheres. So What I have done is:
1. creating a random set of points
2. use the 3D proximity to find the closest points
3. some how measure the distance of these vectors created from step 2
4. assign the values as radius for each sphere
I am stuck at step 3 now because I am confused about how exactly to use the outputs from the 3D proximity. Anyone knows how to use it please help!
By the way, I am working on this problem as the first approach to a flock or swarm behavior. Does anyone know if there had already been a solution to this? And where I could get it?
I really appreciate anyone that helps!…
