 # 1a. Create Pattern
 
-The first step of the workflow is to generate the topology of the `FormDiagram`, which is called the `Pattern` in RhinoVAULT. A `Pattern` is a collection of vertices interconnected by lines, represented by the COMPAS [mesh datastructure](https://compas-dev.github.io/main/api/compas.datastructures.html#meshes).
-
-RhinoVAULT offers several methods for generating a `Pattern`. Each method has a direct influence not only on the topology of the eventual shell structure, but also the type of application and interaction that is desired during the design process.

 There are many ways to generate a topological pattern. Each method has pros and cons, and the desired design or workflow will help determine which method is more appropriate.
 
 In the case of the rib layout variations for the [rib-stiffened funicular floor system](https://block.arch.ethz.ch/brg/research/rib-stiffened-funicular-floor-system), the boundary remains fixed (the footprint and depth of the floor). However, depending on the topology of the form diagram, the distribution and flow of forces change drastically.&#x20;
