Wall/Part panelization minimizing waste

I recently posted a Python based solution to separate disjointed polysurfaces, which may help you wrap your head around the logic.

Separate polysurface

I couldn’t think up a clean solution which doesn’t use C#, Python, or a custom design script definition. The first on that list isn’t something readily distributed, and the last will usually lead to more questions than answers. So here’s some Python for you (you’ll have to build the means of iterating over a list of PolySurfaces (though you might just convert them to a single PolySurface first): import sys,clr #import the sys and CLR modules clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry') #add the Dynamo g…

Comments are pretty robust so you can review. Before you start that be sure to review Dynamo’s (often overlooked) topology classes in the geometry library. Otherwise it’ll make zero sense.
