bbox based + rand objects copy along line/curve no overlap Sept. 2, 2020, 1:02 a.m.

I am speechless and thank you both “vusta” & “Aizatulin”
Thanks vusta for letting me know about “align and distribute” fro lab, it is definitely useful.
Aizatulin, omg, what you have in the sample is blow my mind. I was too naive. Thanks for spending time and show me how it can be done, and I have a lot need to digest now, lots of good information and tricks. Amazing, thank you so much!

bbox based + rand objects copy along line/curve no overlap Sept. 1, 2020, 3:20 p.m.

I want to random copy a few existing models along a line/curve.
The line/curve has to be a fixed distance/length, but the models/bbox size can change.
while copying objects…..I want to use model's bounding box, so I have control of the space between instance 0 and instance 1, and they don't overlap
I use copy-to-point node, but I know think it will work.
for-each-loop, may work, but I not sure how to feed the bbox value back to the “resample” node???? sorry I don't know if this make any sense….
I made a diagram here, hope it explained what Im trying to do…

Thank you very much

Boolean question for modeling (it creates ugly meshes) Aug. 25, 2020, 2:11 p.m.

Hi all,

Im not sure if I done it correctly.
I am modeling a Cul-de-sac terrain and I thought I can use “boolean” to cull out where driveways are.
However, boolean gives me really bad meshes and I have hard time to display/render them properly.
Wondering if you could help me and take a look, I have my .hip file attached.
Also I included a .gif to show you the dirty meshes I produced
thank you very much
