Asked by Weimin Song

Dear all,

I'm wondering is it available to fill a box with polyhedra with specific size distribution? Such as using psdSizes and psdCumm in makeCloud?

Hi,
If you mean a makeCloud function specialized for polyhedra I would say no.
But actually you can use makeCloud to generate a sphere cloud and use this list to place polyhedra of the same size (say, each polyhedron is represented by the smallest sphere enclosing it).

list=makeCloud()
for s in list:
    O.bodies.append([convert sphere to polyhedron here])
