unearthed Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I want to joggle the positions of a lot of symbols that are on a grid. I've seen randomize scripts in the past but searching has come up dry. Does anyone have a script that will at least randomize a rectangular or square grid? Ultimately I hope to randomize symbols on a radial grid - see encl, but that may be a script to far. The case is an experimental acoustic planting based on sonic crystal theory.

AlanW Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) @unearthedHi, you can do this with Marionette but i notice you have 2012 and i cant export back that far. This script randomizes symbols within a polygon. You can scale and set the percentage of density of the planting also. There are 2 d symbols also so you can randomize any symbol you need.

unearthed Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hi Alan, The Marionette looks amazing. Are you saying there is also a script that will work in 2012 just for doing 2D random arrangements? I cannot open the file Quote Link to comment
unearthed Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Are you able to save your Marionette back to 2018, one of us should be able to open it. Quote Link to comment
AlanW Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) @unearthedhi, 2018 attached. When you are happy with the layout you can explode the block of trees so you wont accidentally change the layout. Keep a copy of the object as a backup To change the polygon right click the trees and edit control geometry. Either change it or draw a new one and delete the old.
