Extend Line to the Closest Curve

[UsmiH]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to draw lines (extending vertical lines to the nearest horizontal line up and down). I am using Closest Point by extracting the End Points of the vertical curves, however, after I pull the points and cull the duplicates to make a polyline, the lines goes from the bottom horizontal line to the top horizontal line which is not what is intended as shown in the picture:

I want the extended line to stay between two closest horizontal lines as shown in the figure below:

Could anyone please provide me a direction or correct what I am doing wrongly because I was looking at the forum and Pull Point seemed to work fine for those. Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Bests,

Thank you so much. It works. Could you please help me in closing the curves to form rectangles? I have tried by arranging the start and end points according to z and x axes and then sub-divide the list into a group of 4 points as the vertices of the rectangles but the polyline that is created is irregular, Could you please provide me some guidance here too?

Exactly, now it seems so simple and I feel stupid. I need to get grip on how to use sets. Thanks a lot Ethan!
