🔧 Implementation of the Kabsch algorithm to find the best fit between two sets of paired points

Could your nodes be used for 2d packing? If the z values were just 0? Wondering if I could then pack rectangles and get there centre points for locations to pack views on sheets. I would be inputting bounding boxes. Not sure what your exact container input formula is that the nodes take. Sorry for the comment in the wrong place. Still understanding git hub and couldn't figure out how else to ask.

I'm not at work to try it with 2d. What node is going into the algorithm inputs? Do you have a YouTube video or some example graphs set up?

PlaceItemsAndInfill fails for particular numbers of Items

Feeding a Container with a dimension of 0 into any of the PackingService nodes will result in an error:

Warning: PackingService.PackContainer operation failed. 
One or more errors occurred.

Items with a 0 dimension fail too. Revise nodes to handle error with more explanation.

🔧 Get solids from a family instance by subcategory

Container orientation needs reviewing

🔧 List node to duplicate the item or list at a given index

Currently, the EB-AFIT algorithm tests all possible orientations of an Item in order to achieve the optimum solution. In some situations, this is not desirable (e.g. placing a book with the bottom facing outwards) and so the ability to omit certain orientations would be a beneficial enhancement

Having the same class names as Core Nodes leads to warnings and clashes when using in DesignScript. Although it can be ignored it would be better have different names and use the Miscellany_DynamoCustomization.xml to categorize in the list

📄 Set up wiki for documentation and keep readme concise

The PackingService methods involving groups do not correctly take into account Items with a Quantity of more than 1
