Flip Curve Direction in a Group of curve segments

Grasshopper

I am trying to get all the curves to have the same direction.

I need for them to remain a group of separate curves.
I can’t use list item to manually select the curves going in opposite directions because the overall form will be interchangeable, and I do not want to have to change the list item every time.

give me some time here to try and figure this one out. :slightly_smiling_face:
I have a guess.

Just tried it and unfortunately no… the referenced curve’s vectors were all going the same direction unlike the directions of the curves I posted above. Thanks for the tip anyways.

Hmm Don’t have an answer… You could try finding the negative vector values. then flipping the corresponding curves. Thats the best I have with the time I have. Sorry.

I hope you don’t expect anyone else to replicate your code from an image?

I’m not confident that this method is robust, but it works with the test geometry provided.

This is a more serious effort to solve the problem as stated, though it would answer many questions if a series of test geometry were provided instead of just one example. This solution could quickly be shown as inadequate with different geometry.

This works great with the interchangeable forms I am using, thanks.
