The threads about Voronoi (or Qhull) are all very old now, i can't find the proper DLL to install and it seems very complicated (cever.org website is down now).
Can you point me a modern way to implement Voronoi Diagrams in OpenBuilding Generative Components ?

Maybe something on this page will give you some ideas on how to generate them. Maybe using some cones?
datagenetics.com/.../index.html
Give it a go.
Looks interesting
Thanks

Thank you Wayne. It is an interesting article.
But i wonder why there is no voronoi function in GC (it is very simple to do and there used to be one) ?
Many CAD softwares have it natively or by plugin (Revit, Blender, Sketchup,...). Why not Generative Components ?
Hi Christophe,
That is a good question. After cerver.org went dormant and Robert discontinued supporting QHull we considered picking up that task. However, since then your request is the first time (as far as I recall) someone has asked about supporting the Voronoi algorithm. Because there have been and continue to be a long list of requested capabilities that we'd like to implement in GenerativeComponents, support of QHull has had a relatively low priority. Access to the QHull project is still available through GitHub: https://github.com/cerver/GC_Qhull.

Great ! Thank you for the link.
I found this too (see below) and it indeed would be easy to implement Voronoi Diagram (at least in 2D) even directly in GC Script.
