How Can't the Triangulated Points Work for a Voronoi Buildin

sdmitch

I couldn't get it correctly after hitting the 'Triangulated Points' button.

I have some experience using the Voronoi plugin to generate irregular polygons in my FloorGenerator plugin but I don't recall ever seeing a "Triangulated Points" button. As its' name implies, Voronoi_XY is for points on the XY plane only. It requires Delauney3 to do the triangulation.

I'd tackle this with SUbD.

Many Thanks! That looks cool! I'll give that a try.

You're quite right! After posting this yesterday, I thought of one step that I hadn't done, which was click on the view 'top' that'll make all points on XY plane. Thanks for your advice.

May I ask how you'd draw the basic geometry in a fast way?

Split tools by TIG

Then Move Scale some edges/ Vertices

Here's a quick version using linear arrays.
You could manually add the 8 diagonals or use split donut as I have done here.
Then it's up to you how you move the geometry about. You can use Move, Rotate and Scale.
Personally I would use Quad face tools and Vertex tools to manipulate the shape.

I downloaded the Quad face tool and the split tool, just tried them as the photo but I may need to add more triangulates to make the holes look smoother. But I think it'll work to model that building. Very much appreciated.

The more times you click the green button the smoother the geometry becomes.
