Hi all,
Is there a way to subdivide a cuboid into multiple cuboids (eg 3x3x3 into 27 1x1x1 cube just like a rubik’s cube but not necessarily have equal sides, can be 3x3x4, etc)…
I have done this only in 2d where a surface is subdivided into square panels…
Thanks in advance for your help - I am very new to Dynamo geometry…
Hi @archjahzzy
After you divide surface in 2d you can use surface.thickness node or Curve.Exrtrude node to get solids from it.
Hi @Kulkul, thank you! I will try that (don’t have my pc atm)
Hi Kulkul,
Using the Surface.Thickness just created one solid surface without subdivisions… Curve.Extrude doesn’t work for some reason…
@archjahzzy Could you please show us your complete graph with all the previews visible.
Hi!
I have generated a solid mass with movable spherical voids to create different form options…
However, I need to further refine this by subdividing the solid into cubes with LxWxH that can be varied, too. And all cubes that intersect by more than 50% with the spherical void will be deleted…
How do I go about this… Or am I in the right direction at all?
Thank you!
Hi @Kulkul, this is the graph… sorry, later I will turn on all previews… I am out having lunch. Thanks!
Ohhh… I seee! I used Curved.Extrude instead of Curve.ExtrudeAsSolid…
So… now, just another thing. Instead of one single cuboid along the z axis, I want it to be a series of cubes such that they are divided into my panel size… However, using the range values as input to the distance gives me an error…
@archjahzzy What does the error says?
Hi @Kulkul,
I managed to do that with the voids excluded, too. Thank you so much!
To further explain my previous question… here is the outcome of the original extrusion with a single z-value:
But I want to add grids so that these cuboids will be further subdivided into small cubes… I thought I could do it by using 0…1…#1.2 as codeblock range value but it gives me error…
Thanks
@archjahzzy Could you please drop here your dyn file.
here it is… thanks!

@archjahzzy Is this what your looking for?
Hi, I think the concept is the same…
But I’m thinking of using the 2 spheres along the longer sides as attractor objects (points used will have x&y value equal to spheres’ midpoints but z value will be equal to the spheres’ radii)
I still need to figure it out… But thanks anyways. I will create another post for attractor points if I can’t find any helpful posts…
@archjahzzy Don’t forget to mark this post as solved. You’re welcome!
