Thank you jorlan and Pilou.

As an illustration of the task I'm trying to optimize see attached image. Resulting image was made by manually placing copy of the circle on the rectangular face. I'm hoping there is a plugin/ruby script to calculate/place maximum possible number of shapes (in this case circles) on given face.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

I am wondering is there a plugin or script that would place maximum possible number of shapes like circle, hexagon, etc on a face. For example I have a face that is 2.3 x 1.7m and I want to place as many as possible circles with diameter of 0.63m without any overlap.

I have SketchUp Make 2013 and SketchUp 8, both free versions.

Thank you.

Thanks Paul. I'm working on bathroom renovation project and this will be very handy.
