Thanks for the tips! These are actually really useful. Where I’m running into a problem now is that I think I’m understanding the algorithm behind Mitchell’s Best-Candidate. I thought I was looking for the furthest point between two sets of points, once I find that point in group B, I remove the rest and repeat the process. Somehow I don’t thinks that’s actually the right approach and instead it’s to do with radius? If you’re interested, this is what I’m trying to replicate: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1893974

With 5 scattered points in group A, and 5 scattered points in group B, what is the furthest point in group B from group A, not as an average, but the individually furthest point? Sounded like an easy problem but I'm spinning wheels here. I would really appreciate some help/teachings.

If anyone has some advice/tips I'd really appreciate it!

Hi, I'm trying to wrap my head around why this simple set up isn't working as desired. Inside of an SOP solver, I look for the first and last points on a curve and assign them to groups. I then try and assign these groups in the Stitch constraints on a multi-solver but they aren't taking effect. Can someone point me in the right direction? I know this is simple in SOPS level but I'd like to expand upon this in DOPs and make the Stitch points animate-able. Thank you constraint_simple_01.hiplc

Thanks for the link and tutorial You go through how to build my current set with vex which is great, I still need to recreate that red outlined shape though, and ideas with that and your vex route? Thanks for the ideas @MENOZ that's sort of the way I've been approaching this problem so far, but haven't been successful in finding a viable solution yet.

Hey, I would ideally like to have this all happen in Vex rather than the set I have made here. This would allow it to be more scalable, but perhaps I can save that for my next problem. Right now I am wondering how I go about recreating the curve I have outlined in pink on the image? Any ideas would be a big help as I'm really stuck. Thanks Metaball Arc_Circles_A_01.hip

Great work Juraj! Some really clever and time saving stuff in there! Would you mind sharing your 'Save Increment' tool

Thanks again @sasho78!

@sasho78 I may have spoke to soon Any ideas would be a big help! box_curve_v2.hip

@sasho78 Perfect, thanks! The Angle fix in Sweep was the trick

Hi, Can anyone see where I may be going wrong with this set up? I'm trying to get a constant box profile sweep along a simple curve made up of right angles. This set up with the polyframe is all messed up? box_curve.hip

@houdiniJD Thank you, this is exactly what I was after! The other approaches were very useful to too, thanks for the tips guys!

Hey, I was hoping someone could help me out with a CHOPS set up I'm stuck on. I'm looking for a channel to continuesly increase over time at a set rate, but with added intervales? That may no make sense so I have set up a scene to decirbe it. The image below show the white line which is what I'm after. Its a mix of the red (contast increasing value) with the sine wave pink line, but only the positve values, which then get added to the red line. Sorry if that's confussing, CHOPS is confussing! Any help would be really apprciated! Chops_Increase_01.hip

Thanks @Zybrand That worked out great!

Thanks for taking a look @dchow1992 With that code the boxes won't stack one on top of another, they simply move up the size of their scale.y I'm looking to get boxes of different scales to sit one on top of another.
