Hi,
So what you want is to have points distribute on a curved surface, there are no requirements for the points distribution?

Hi Farouk,

thanks for responding - yes, I want to distribute points on a curved surface. At this point I am less concerned about the distance between them. It would be nice to control the amount/distance but I believe this would require grasshopper.

Thank you,

Hi,
This script will create points at random locations on the surface.
If you had any specific pattern in mind, or distribution you can change the script accordingly, or tag me
DistributePointsOnSurfaceRandom.py (906 Bytes)
Hope that helps,

Farouk

Hi Anna - ArraySrf may help here,

it may be tricky to get evenly distributed spacing. The array will be on the untrimmed surface.
