How to add points along a polyline with CC measure I choose

Hello,

I got some really good help here last time I had a question so I figured I’d try again.

I’m working with Tekla, and recently figured out that Rhino/Grasshopper has a plugin for it and I’m still learning it, therefore the questions.

My problem:

I have a 3D polyline on this current project, which is the where I’ve alligned all the other objects to through GH. These are some easy objects but now I want it to be a bit more advanced so I can control most of it through this Polyline (it gets frequently changed this early in the project).

My 3D polyline is the yellow marked line on the image. Thats the line all my other elements are based of in terms of placements (offset etc). I’ve manually added the green “sticks” (dont know the name of it in english, sorry). I now wish to have it linked with my curve.

So my idea was to add points along the curve, with a cc of roughly 7 meter. On these points I wish to be able to add elements such as these green sticks, with the startposition of the curve. I also wish to offset it upwards/downwards, be able to choose the lenght and even the angle.

I have tried for a few hours now but gave up, and now I’m reaching out to you.

Thank you for your help

Not sure if it’s of some help, anyway check the demo attached…

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for.

One question. The offset you have added is only downwards, is there a way to be able to choose offset on both directions from the point?

Cheers once again
