Distribute elements evenly spaced

[DMK]

Hi Guys, I`ve got a pretty interesting task, to populate piles under mat slab. I have 50 piles to be equally placed and some nonrectangular slab. Sounds easy, but I even dont know how to start. Any ideas how to proceed?)

You could create a distribution of points on this slab’s surface. Have a look at this post, lots of users have answered some good ways for doing this distribution. I think you could use one of them to solve your problem

Points distribution in surface

Hi there, I am trying to create a bunch of point, equally separated (like a grid) on a surface. Firstly I create the surface, then I subtract lots of solids from it, so at the end I have a surface with lots of “holes”. After that I want to have a distribution of points that are inside the remaining surface. I thought about creating these points in a big area (bigger than the whole surface) and then getting only those that intersect this surface, however this is getting my running too slow. I w…

You could create piles as columns under the floor.

Hi, thanks, yes its allow to create a group of piles, however, its requires to input numbers for UV column grids, but the intent is that I dont know these numbers yet and layout even not requires to be in the rectangular grid.

Need to get something like this

You have to:

1. Import the surface
2. Using Chynamo nodes, group by parallel and extend the perimeter lines. Then split the surface by these lines and you´ll get the tiles you want.
3. Using the Quad Grid by Face node, you can mesh them and get the center points.
4. Place the element at the point.

Did this ever get solved? I have a similar problem - looking to space speakers according to room geometries
