We propose a graph method for systematically searching for schemes that can generate multipartite entanglement in linear bosonic systems with heralding. While heralded entanglement generation offers more tolerable schemes for quantum tasks than postselected ones, it is generally more challenging to find appropriate circuits for multipartite systems. We show that our graph mapping from boson subtractions provides handy tactics to overcome the limitations in circuit designs. We present a practical strategy to mitigate the limitation through the implementation of our graph technique. Our physical setup is based on the sculpting protocol, which utilizes an $ N$ spatially overlapped subtractions of single bosons to convert Fock states of evenly distributed bosons into entanglement. We have identified general schemes for qubit N-partite GHZ and W states, which are significantly more efficient than previous schemes. In addition, our scheme for generating the superposition of $N=3$ GHZ and W entangled states illustrates that our approach can be extended to derive more generalized forms of entangled states. Furthermore, we have found an N-partite GHZ state generation scheme for qudits, which requires substantially fewer particles than previous proposals. These results demonstrate the power of our approach in discovering optimized solutions for the generation of intricate heralded entangled states. As a proof of concept, we propose a linear optical scheme for the generation of the Bell state by heralding detections. We expect our method to serve as a promising tool in generating diverse entanglement.
