How can I make curves/vertices push them away from each other?

[gerroon]

Hi

Is there a way to push curves or vertices of objects push them each other away so that they maintain a minimal space between them? I would like my curves to not touch eachother.

thanks

Can you draw an example of what do you want to get?

Sure. Please see the image. As you can see the curve tubes are overlapping. I want these curves to avoid or push each other so that they do not overlap. I do not necessarily care about how they clear up the space between them. I tried the Pulga stuff but I was not able to do it properly, I am guessing that I do not understand it properly maybe there is a better way in Svberchok/

This is about modifying existing geometry rather than creating new curves from scratch.

From the top of my head, I don't have an idea of how to formulate exactly the idea of "pushing curves from one another". But I have an idea about how to push curves from some point.

@portnov Thanks for idea. I think this would work if all I have the deal with is a single point of tangling. I have curves that overlap in many places, so I am trying to figure out an automated way of minimizing overlaps.

Houdini has this node called detangle, so I am looking something along those lines at least.
