Final output in GH

A bubble diagram in GH is deterministic on the anchor points.As mentioned earlier, multiple anchor points can be assigned in GH, but assigning a point as an anchor point restricts the spring motion/ rest lengths we can assign to it. This means that a bubble that has its centrepoint as an anchor point can be moved as per the user's but will act as an independent bubble from the spring system.

Below is a bubble diagram for a  simple 2 bedroom residence.


In this bubble diagram, the anchor points are assigned to LR (Living Room), BD1 (Bedroom 1), and BD2 (Bedroom 2). The K (Kitchen), and DR (Dining Room) are assigned to the LR, with rest lengths zero, indicating they need to be adjacent to to the living room. The user can move the LR in any direction or distance and the K and DR would move long with it. 

Similarly BD1 and BD2 are also assigned anchor points and the user is able to move them both in space. In this case the T1 and T2 are given rest lengths zero and would move alongside BD1 and BD2. 

The bubble diagram works well in this system, as it is less complex. In cases for example where we would have to move K or DR the problem becomes complicated. Assigning K or DR with anchor points would make it act independent to LR.
