Malaguiera Script

The script here creates a block of boundary representations randomly distributed in a gridded shape.  The grid parameters are defined by a rectangular grid button, which gives us the dimensions of each cell, defined by a slider, as well as the number of rows and columns.  The centroids of these cells is then extracted and put to the side for later use.

Our four boundary representations are then put into the system.  Each of the BReps is a container for a booleaned surface that describes a component for the units.  These are stairs, walls, columns, or a slab.  These units are put into a list, and then the list is repeated until it reaches the length equal to the number of cells in the grid.  The BReps then have a bounding box placed around them, and the centroid for the bounding box is located and moved to 0 in the Z direction.

At this point, we take the centroids from the cells and shuffle them randomly with a Jitter button.  This preserves the shape of the grid, while shuffling the positions in the list.  Next, a vector is drawn from the list of BRep centroids to the shuffled set, and finally the BReps are moved onto the shuffled grid. 

This process is then repeated on the second floor of the units.  The stair block is not included in this section, and the operation is move up 8 units.
