PARAMO POST COUNT

DanyThailand — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 10:27:47 GMT

New at paramo, i'm trying to make the number of post parametric without editing in paramo. For example, each post is 8 x 3 xm and the space between them is 3 cm. I would like to reduce or increase the count of post in object property keeping the same value ( post dimensions and space ).

Operating system used: Windows 11

Hello Dany,

Setup 1: Distribute

Dimension 1 will be divided in the number of elements you want. If you change dimension1, the gap between the elements will increase/decrease.

In this option there is a substracion node: end of number distribution = dimension1-width element. By doing this, the object is "stretchable" in 2d&3d

Setup 2: Number series:

In this setup you can choose the width of the element + width of the gap. When you change dimension1, extra elements will be added.

Add this in the 2d code to add hotspots to make it stretchable (select the object/ ctrl-o (command-o)):

!!!!

unID=1

hotspot2 0,0,unID:unID=unID+1

hotspot2 A,0,unID:unID=unID+1

hotspot2 0,B,unID:unID=unID+1

hotspot2 A,B,unID:unID=unID+1

!!!!

Param-o files and gdl-files are attached.

Hi @DanyThailand

It could be done differently for sure, but here I am sharing a possible way. Dimension 1 will be the length, Profile A and B the post profile sizes and you could choose the distance too.
