Itis possible to select an existing sketch, a sketch profile, or one of the (XY, XZ, YZ) construction planes as the target of the generated diagram. When a sketch profile is selected, it will be used to define the bounds and to clip the generated diagram.

Several styles of Voronoi diagrams may be created. Each cell in a diagram has an outer edge. The "edge style" may be specified as "Curves" or "Straight". Selecting one of these styles will create a familiar style of Voronoi diagram.


The other styles place symbols at each cell location. For example, selecting the "Triangle" style will place a triangle at each cell location. Note that this is still an experimental feature and being refined.


3. A number of the voroni cells are not closed so you can't extrude them. This is so annoying as it takes time to do all of the above and then you try to extrude and there is a problem, somewhere on the cell. When you have 200 cells to fix, this is a major hassle.


After some setup and online checking, I could use it. Main issue is that when it generates the sketch, it goes out of my current component and appears as a sketch in the general assembly (the main component). Also there, the generated sketch is not in the position of the reference sketch, it relates somehow to the origin of the main assembly, so I have to enter the voronoi sketch, copy the elements, exit sketch, enter initial sketch, paste, then move the voronoi to fit inside the initial sketch.


Hi,



I was just wondering if you could update the installer here with the latest release Version from Github as there does not seem to be a published release on there for the 2022 updates that were made :).



Do you have a moment to do that?


However, on Mac M1 (and I assume that's the conflict), this is the end of the party. Just as the cellsl finish their fillout method, populating the screen, it turns blank/white and none of the button-clicks create a pattern. Look forward to using again soon :)


It creates Voronoi pattern sketches. I used this generator for creating an Voronoi emboss on a lamp shield. Unfortunatley sometimes there are very tiny intermediate lines created that prevent the embossed parts from being chamfered for 3D print :(


Enjoying this extension. A couple small things that could use attention. The biggie is the "Download SVG" button does nothing for me. The other is the padding option. It is not symmetrical around the border.


THis is a pretty cool concept that can be used in a few different ways. I am trying to use it with an existing sketch with a profile and create a texture. While it does work to that extent, the profile it is filling in is not created. When I go back to fusion360 I am left trying to eyeball the sketched items into my profile, which is difficult with many lines. If the profile was generated with the output, I could select a corner of it and move it from point to point with ease. Kudos for the hard work so far! With a few tweak this could be very cool!


Hello Hans - sorry for late reply. For me, I want to use this to lighten the weight of ribs in an model aeroplane wing. So I'd prefer the gap around the cells is equal, therefore making smaller cells against the outer edges. ( I drew a picture but cant seem to upload it here )


It makes very nice voronoi and I like the parameter options, but please can we make it work inside a shaped area, because if I apply it to my drawing shape there is a big effort to conform around the edges.


The script or add-in Voronoi.js uses the Fusion 360 JavaScript API whitch is being retired and will no longer be supported as of the January update of Fusion 360. If you want to continue to use the script or add-in after the update, it needs to bee re-written to use Fusion 360 Phyton or C++ API


Hi Wassim - I'm sorry you feel it necessary to mark this with 1 star. In our offline conversation we clarified the confusion and the use of splines. Do you still feel it deserves this rating even though it accomplishes its job?


@Hans Kellner,you're right, I edited my review, I put 4 stars, actually 3 +1. +1 because it's a unique tool with no equivalent, it's free and many people like it.My first frustration might come from the fact that I developed a tool (the websvg github voronoi) and know what are all the cool options a vornoi tool could have, but admittedly, I'm no competitor of this tool as I don't plan to challenge a Fusion360 plugin development, and I'd be happy if you take over any feature to this plugin.


There would be five starts, if...



For the love of god, I do not understand the logic behind the placement of the calculated sketch...

Sometimes it's in the right plane, sometimes not. It NEVER is in the place where it should be...

If there would be some write-up on how that logic on placement works, it would be awesome...

Until then, the only solution is to rotate and move everytime I generate a voronoid...



Maybe some quick-help text would be helpful, which would pop-up once you hover over the fields in the menu, explaining what that figure or option does.


Thanks for the feedback. The placement of the voronoi pattern is relative to the origin (0,0) of the selected sketch or the sketch created if one isn't selected. At this time, the pattern will only be generated in the XY dimensions.Adding additional support for non XY planes and for selecting a relative starting point are on the wish list.


I almost gave this three stars until I realized all this app really does is save you time doodling random blob sketches. It's nice & all; it works, but it's not doing anything you couldn't do yourself in a few minutes. And due to it's extreme simplicity, you're likely going to be making changes to the sketches it generates unless you just need a basic Voroni pattern in a rectangle. As some other reviewers have pointed out, some handy features to have might include the ability to define the geometry within which the Voroni pattern is generated, being able to generate the pattern on a 3D surface, and the ability to define a starting shape to generate the Voroni, or even define a sketch plane. Unfortunately, none of these are features at this time. Even a couple of these features would bump this app up to three or four stars.


Thanks for the feedback. The most recent version posted on Github uses an improved algorithm as well as the ability to select a specific sketch to add the voronoi into. I'll see about updating the version here in the app store.


It does not seem to be OS version specific. Not sure yet what is causing the issue for some people. Could you both contact us on fusio...@autodesk.com to provide more info on your setup? - e.g. do you have administrator rights?


- Never resolved, I guess :(- BTW, I'm a programmer, too, so I understand the situation: not your fault, in this case.- In past, I've been able to manually install the 'bundle', but when I open the .pkg contents there is no .bundle - though the 'payload' looks like it is the actual code.- Hm?- TIA for any help you might be able to give...


Hi Alex, the main point of these add-ins from Autodesk (Sketch Checker, Parameter I/O, etc) are just to showcase the power of the API. They are open source and so you can take the source code and modify it the way you want to achieve what you need :)


@Adam Nagy - Thats great, but not everyone has these skills... any timeline on adding such a feature? Seems like this has the potential to be at least the beginnings of being a competitor to grasshopper which I think a lot of people - including myself - would pay for. Or is this simply a demo app that will never be updated?


The Voronoi generator makes visually beautiful patterns, which could be really interesting for complex 3D printed parts. It would be nice if you could select a sketch for the Voronoi pattern to generate within.


It is indeed a great tool, but if the surface to be Voronoid? could be selected it would even be better. Or even better, selecting 3d objects and hollowing them out like in this page would be a major improvement: (I have no relation to that site)But the add on i definitely useful and I highly recommend it.Keep up the good work.


Autocad can be driven with a text script. It has had this capability since its beginning (about 30 years). Its largely forgotten now but its a real power tool that can process dozens or even hundreds of files in a few minutes. I use it for batch printing and modifying small shop sketches. A text file with scr extension is made with the file names interwoven with open and close statements. Autodesk makes its own script generator, available on separate download, Script-Pro. It stops and starts autocad with every file because there is a memory leak and over time with large drawings, opening and closing in the same session will slow down. However, just manage your batch sizes and enjoy the blazing speed. I can run at least 50 small shop sketches with no problem. This old conventional approach is about 10 times faster than scriptpro. Its easier and more flexible.


A hardcoded script is the other feature. A favorite script, such as batch plotting 8 x 10 landscape shop sketches to extents, something specific you do a lot, can be hardcoded into the program and once the files are selected, the script can be run directly from code without the intermediary of a text file. Its not technically a script, but the command list is exactly the same and it can be developed and debugged in the script listing on the worksheet. Its not limited to just one script. I have an example for batch plotting to printer and batch plotting to pdf.


I know I can use the "edit in frame generator" tool and "Multi-Select" all of the steels but unfortunately all of the steels have been offset to different dimensions so the "multi-select" doesn't really work as I only want to change the material.


It sounds like you wanted to change the actual size of the structural piece.. Not the material definition.. Is that correct? Your posting said material so in Inventor, material means steel, alum, stainless and that's why @melvin.valverde.delgado provided you with that solution. For the future you may want to be more clear..
