some eye candy resulting from the above work

This script is very close, might need some tweaking, but produces very similarly to what you want.

 

Let me know if you have any comments/questions.

very impressed, since i did mine all by trial and error

might want to have a different color feature for the inside and outside rings since they are separate from each other. while i can custom select the inner ring by hand it might be a default that the inner ring is red then outer is blue etc

on second thought maybe just make a script that just makes one "donut" shape at a time. then all i do is run the script twice. that way i can make an infinite amount of rings

I Think its simply a matter of splitting the end of your network into 2 and add the attributes node, see attached.

HTH

You can also randomise the colours on each area or extrude them with random colours and heights.

ok thanks for all the help. after playing with it i found this out.

1. i do not need a script that makes a double ring and that i could just have a single script ring on a separate layer to make as many rings a i need. this i have done with the attached file.

2. being able to control one ring at a time has allowed me to fine tune the inputs to get the ring inside the guidelines.

3. for the inner ring, i could not find out why it did not draw the circles in the prescribed diameters... instead i had to input a large number (120) to get the inner ring to shrink down to fit in the inner guides. I'm not sure what this number does

4. having a script that makes only one ring allows me to tune the "spacing" of each ring separately. this was needed to fit the circles into the guideline spaces.

5. having a single ring script, i do not now need to separate by color since each ring is on its own layer

thanks for everyones help

And just in case you wanted random colours here is a file.

Wrappers came from either Marissa or Sarah.

Alan,

I love your extensions on this project! The colors are VERY fun.
