Dear gentlemen your tips are very much appreciated - thank you all !
Maybe the only solution will be a manual placement of each object
but I am experimenting with the tools you kindly presented.
>> How nany different nodes have you developed to achieve those results ? <<
I have contributed very few nodes, generally & only 2 in "equiDistPattern2.nod" ("Planar" & "reRange "). The real heroes of all my node experiments are Krasten and of course Max.
The nodesystem is an incredible tool ! So if you did not build all the nodes by yourself,
where did you find them ? Is there a central depository with all the nodes developed
yet to be downloaded in one file ?

There can be confusion because some people use the word nodes to denote .nod files (eg Pilou).
If you are asking about my .nod files, many can be found on this thread: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.1
It is a long thread and contains the experiments of myself and many others.
Most of my experiments posted to Instagram, I have not posted .nod files on the forum.
It can be a hassle, and I have a short attention span..... and I usually have moved on before I have an opportunity to clean up files for primetime.
Anyway I hope this answers your question either way.

Sorry for the confusion....the .nod files to achieve the various results in my postings are indeed my own work. Once you get your head around how the nodes work in combination with each other, intricate pattern and complex form become accessible to generate. I won't say it is easy, you keep at it because it is rewarding.
I don't see much value in posting all the various .nod files to the forum, because many are a total mess...& as I said earlier, finessing them can be quite laborious.
Instead the file above is a good example to use for instructional purposes. I have attached a revised file "ANNOTATED_equiDistPattern.nod" with annotations of each of the nodes explaining the process.
If you analyse the steps you will start to see how it works.
