Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

I'm trying to create a set of randomized dashed lines using a set of dash lengths and a fixed gap length. I have one line working but need multiple instances of this all different from each other. Any help is appreciated.

thx

You need to generate different seeds. One for each curve. Otherwise the random pattern will stay the same.

Can I achieve that using a single random component with multiple seeds or do I need to cut and paste?

thanks

thanks David, that works nicely. One thing I can't figure out though: the top 2 lines are the same every time no matter what the settings...?

It's because making a range with X segments actually results in X+1 number, whereas making a random component with X seeds just makes exactly X values.

If you put the expression "x+1" in the [N] input of the first random component it should match up.

Or rather, since your slider is marked "# of lines" you should put an "x-1" expression in the [N] input of the Range component.

figured it out - I added a 1 to the # of results input on the first random comp.

I do have another question though.. I'd like the right side of the pattern to always end with a complete "dash" rather than a gap or part of a gap..

I'm guessing the def would have to loop somehow to take the results, check them for a full dash, then adjust the settings if this is not the case..?

Thanks!
