I'm trying to create a rationalized panelized sculptural piece for a multi-story lobby but I'm really struggling to make the forces described in this tutorial to work with diamond panels. I'm assuming this would be due to the quad nature of the panels

Hi Alonso,
Yes this is possible and even easier. See attached script (you need the Lunchbox plugin for the diamond generation):

I've adjusted the beginning of the clustering of the hexagons to instead use diamonds.
The inputs are the same: Member lengths, Diagonal lengths, Areas, Derivation and Orientation
Cheers!

Thank you so much Arie,
I did managed to integrate the clustering part but I'm failing miserably at adapting the physics for some reason it keeps folding the faces on top of each other. If you ever get a chance, could you take a look? https://we.tl/t-pKH69AWL0P
Again, thank you so much!
