There are a number of ways of doing this

How to make more distance between items?

There’s probably as many ways of approaching this as there are people. I’d start with an actor that can do something basic: [image] And then take it further step-by-step until you’re satisfied with what it spits out. The above would spawn them in a uniform grid but you can offset them with chaos and optionally skip some elements. Just by changing the variables, you can get a pretty random result without anything ever overlapping.

That’d be the one of many methods:

A more efficient way is to scatter the meshes on a grid – perturb each mesh by some amount from the well-aligned grid point. Make the grid spacing big enough, and the peturbation small enough, and you will be guaranteed no overlaps.
