Problem using curtain panel pattern based on organic surface

[laverdadozharalibres]

hi everyone,

i have some problems when i try to representate some structural elements whit a curtain panel wall based as i saw in some tutorials from youtube.

The thing is, i have made a complex and organic surface whit the tool for "in situ mass" and joining some splines to make the general form, from there i just divided the surface in a rectangles pattern (as seen on the first image).

then i made a custom pattern as a family whit a structural form (as we can see on second image).

but when i try to aply this custom pattern, at the end of the process that have to do the pc it gives back some errors whit just some parts of the surface covered by the pattern and some vacums in it (like the third image).

My question is if anyone ahve tryed to do this before?, and if u did it, have u past trough the same problems and how did u solve them?

thank you very much for any reply, since i have doing this for like a week whit some gain but too much pain (and time lost because as you can imagine, this is a very hard work for my laptop).

P.D. i made one model when it was fine whit just 1 or 2 missing elements of the pattern but they were very thin and square shapes instead os ciliders, so i needed to do the same but whit a thicker shape. Another thing is i have to 3D ´print the model and thats the reason i need to do it thicker.

so... i really hope someone had this experience before (:

It depends on the complexity of the surface, but I found using an adaptive family and repeat it often yields better a better result than using a curtain panel or generic model pattern based.
