1b. Modify pattern

Modify vertices attributes

This feature allows you to modify the attributes of the vertices of a Pattern.

• constraints : Rhino object to which the vertex is referenced or constrained to (not yet implemented)

• is_fixed : fixes the x, y, z coordinates of the vertex

• x : x coordinate of the vertex

• y : y coordinate of the vertex

• z : z coordinate of the vertex

Modify edges attributes

This feature allows you to modify the attributes of the edges of a Pattern.

• lmax : maximum length desired for the edge during relaxation/smoothing

• lmin : minimum length for the edge during relaxation/smoothing

• q : force density

Move Vertices

This feature allows you to manually move selected vertices of a Pattern.

Delete vertices

This feature allows you to delete vertices of a Pattern. By deleting interior vertices of a pattern, holes can be created.

Relax

Using the force density method, this feature relaxes the entire Pattern.

Smooth

Using area-based smoothing (every vertex is repositioned to the centroid of its neighboring vertices), the pattern is smoothed.
