The thing is that the array needs to begin with the spacing at the first point and end with the spacing at the last point, creating all equal spaces and forcing the first and last copies of the object to the outside of the two points.
The current manual method I use (demonstrated below) doesn’t really take that long to accomplish, but I really feel like, programing-wise, this should be quite achievable and easily translated into a command. I should probably delve into Grasshopper, but I’m not sure when the time will come.
Anyway, to achieve the ‘ArrayBetween’ I have to place the object (with a bounding box if it’s an odd shape) with its outer face on the outside of my 2 points and draw a line between their centers - then I use ArrayCrv. Not labour-intensive, just curious if a command exists or is in the works.
Hi Gijs, Im a relative newbie, as far as im aware to run a script you must enter the command ‘run rhino script’ and select it from where ever you have it saved within your files. Is it possible to save a script within Rhino so you don’t have to try and remember where it was saved and go digging for it?
Choose a line along what you want to have the objects.
Then use “Divide” and divide the line into how many equal length segments you need. After that it gives points on the line on which you can copy the objects you want.
yeah, that’s another good way, it does add an extra step in the process though. Also it does not give you equal divisions if you want to place objects of a certain width BETWEEN two points. If you spread objects 100mm wide along points on a divided line you would end up with 50mm overhanging the end points.
