First, I created grid points, and generated Cuboids so that their width and length are linked to the grid distances. Next, I set an attractor point; I programmed the height of each cuboid to change based on the distance between the attractor point and the grid points, the number of waves, their amplitude, and the base height. Finally, I set the cuboids to appear above the XY plane. As I changed the pattern of the cuboids, I thought it was important to understand how the shape changes depending on the variables, especially the position of the attractor point and the number of waves, by referring to the program and visuals.

Although the software was different, I followed the same approach to the previous problem. What was different from the previous one was that I set the base points and radius of the cylinders first, and then combined them with the variables for the cylinder heights and the XY plane (ceiling plane). When using the sine function, I noticed that the maximum distance between the grid points and the attractor point was not input correctly and the cause was that I did not flatten the coordinates of the grids. I felt it was important to understand the system and program it with easy-to-read visuals to debug it.
