By first understanding the capabilities and limitations of the available tools I’d also seriously advice you to read [How to get help on the Dynamo forums](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/how-to-get-help-on-the-dynamo-forums/4677) ---

@abdelgawad Show us complete screenshot of your attempts. This is not exactly a place to make requests for what you need but rather a help forum to ask for help with things that you cannot figure out on your own, but actually tried. ---

I’m sorry,I don’t mean to make requests for what I need, the problem facing me is the idea/concept of the random intersected grid. ---

Generally, I get to what you mean, I will try with myself first and post here at the phase that I can’t pass or a problem can’t solve, Thanks for your attention @Kulkul and thanks @Vikram_Subbaiah for the link 😃 ---

Are you trying something like Nouvel’s Louvre? I’ve been to lecture by Buro Happold, that worked on that project, and their approach were based on the overlapping of non-random surfaces to achieve the ‘random’ look. And their patterns were based on structural + lighting analysis. Perhaps a completely random pattern will look good, but won’t work constructively. ---

@abdelgawad Appreciate your enthusiasm though 🙂 This is one possible approach, to help you get started… [random.dyn](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/406xXuA7HRrGFUFKNailmpAEGSX.dyn) (9.2 KB) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/2X/1/14b1c3889737babef5783560c7389f7b3b6da3c9.png) ---

Thanks very much for you help and appreciation @Vikram_Subbaiah😃 😃 I am learning Dynamo by my self from random You Tube Videos ( not complete orderly course ) and Dynamo is not known in my country ( don’t know anyone to help me ) so the only way to understand is through the forum , bearing in mind that it’s my first time dealing with a program like that ( don’t know grasshopper ). ---

@abdelgawad Didn’t mean to discourage you with my rebuke. Just want to suggest that you first make sincere attempts yourself before seeking help. I’m sure you’ll get to learn a lot more that way. Please do continue posting your questions on this forum, there are many very talented people here willing to share their knowledge. ---

Hey… this probably wants to be a new thread which references the existing… but… that method isn’t an API method (I think) but a Design Script Method… I dug around and found this link… [https://github.com/DynamoDS/designscript-archive/blob/master/Libraries/ProtoGeometry/Geometry/Curve.cs](https://github.com/DynamoDS/designscript-archive/blob/master/Libraries/ProtoGeometry/Geometry/Curve.cs) there will be better ones… Look for this? `public Curve[] Project(Surface surface, Vector direction)` Or you can call the c# .dll from an (iron)Python node?
