Uniform grid for unclosed surfaces with hole

hi, Mostapha and Abraham

It works well with closed surface, but cannot generate points with un-closed surface, like this one.
Error message says “Data conversion failed from Surface to Curve”
Could you please give some tips or advice to solve it?
Thanks very much.

Hi gogog,

Did you find out a solution for uniform grid point in un-closed surfaces?

Thanks,

Julio

Hi Julio
see attached gh file.
As i am not an expert user, i have to use dozens of components to fix this issue, but at least it works well for me.

Hi @gogog and @Julioamodia89

could you test this raw component? I have written it fast, I have checked it only from geometrical point of view.

I hope it helps.

hi Antonello
It’s cool, works very well.
By the way, could you add a function which can set the distance from the envelope and inner wall?
analysis points

Hi @gogog,

Could you test this? It should work with every planar xy surface with holes.

Update v.3: it works also if your base surface is above elevation 0.

Hi guys,
Looks really good the solutions you have done.
I haven’t manage to make work your component Antonello, I am nor sure where the mistake is.


On the other hand I have also done my own cluster component.

hi @AntonelloDiNunzio
Amazing! Awesome!
programming really can make life easier!
many thanks!

I open it with rhino 6 and now it works, amazing job Antonello

Dear @AntonelloDiNunzio, thanks for your Script,
as you write, works on planar xy surfaces, but would be useful on (planar) surfaces such as facades on the Z-axis, if so, is the script adaptable?.

Hi @Sonny.Weaver,

yes, it is adaptable. I modified it fast so I do not know if it works perfectly.

Hallo dear @AntonelloDiNunzio,

thanks for the component, are very helpful.

I have two questions about two small problems I encountered.

In some cases I have the problem, that the vector direction of my geometries is negative, even if the direction is positive.
I also did a test with the Ladybug’s gentest, and there the direction of the vectors are correct.

Another curiosity I noticed is that in some situation,even if the distance that the grid points must have to the edges of the surface, is set to 0, equally a large strip is not generated, although I believe it depends on the size of the geometry.

Thanks again for this component which is a very important point in most of my works.

Best regards
