I’d like to put in a feature request (based on an earlier question I posted) that either adds a new feature ptDistribute - that provides the same feature as the standard distribute function, but in this case distributes the location of control points for a set of say curves in x, y, z planes. or add…

As you can see in my attached screenshot, the command should not be limited by the ‘ownership’ of the control point i.e. the Distribute Y use case is a number of control points on a single curve, the distribute X is across a number control points across a number of curves. I did two examples of the…

Another option would be to add a distribute sub-command to SetPt, but rather than overloading the SetPt command, I think it makes more sense for it to be a new DistributePt command (basically copying the command structure of the standard ‘distribute’ command. I guess just allowing the standard ‘dis…

Another nice feature would then to be able to distribute the points along a path described by another curve i.e. [image]

So, basically, make Distribure work on control points… correct? For now, exteracting the points, running Distribute, and then moving the control points to the points wouild be the workaround - maybe that is what you are doing. Scale1D will also help in some cases. -Pascal

Correct, but extracting the points then running curves through (now aligned and distributed ) points for say a few hundred/thousand curves, that then need to be turned into pipes (think drawing a data center cable routing guide) is a non starter

[image] Pharris65: but extracting the points then running curves through (now aligned and distributed ) points After distributing the points, select the points and use ControlThroughPt with CurveType=Interpolated to create the new curve. https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/7/help/en-us/index.htm#c…

As I said, for a couple of curves all that works (except for the Tween suggestion as this assumes the start and end of curves is the same/uniform, which in the example I just gave isn’t/won’t be the case) - in the specific example I’m working on has more than 10,000 curves I need to work with…

Hi Phil - [image] Pharris65: I’d like to put in a feature request Added to the list as RH-70352 Distribute: Allow control points / vertices as input -wim

Thanks, this is super helpful. I`ve read that is already done. Will it be in the newest 8 WIP?
