Hi guys
I have a question about how can I divide points into 3 branch, which length in first and last branch remind on 1/3 of overall number of points. no matter how many points will remind in middle branch. points are changeable, it would get more or less. I tried section list but I have no control on list length. I mean I failed to define what I need is 1/3 of overall number of points in first and last branch.
I wonder if anyone could help me.
best regards

exactly! one of my problem was its overlap and wrapping issue which you fixed in version B now I GOT IT!
but what is my other problem is that 1/3rd in first and last branch stay constant (1/3rd of overall points) even if I changed divide domain to more than 3 for example 4 or 5. as @benedict done with c#. is it possible by grasshopper components?
thank you very much!
I need first and last 1/3 of overall points stay constant while for more freely deformation of middle part I tried to divide it to more than one branch, but I failed. because when I change divide domain it change first and last part length.
other fault lie to shift list. when I try to interpolate points they are not overlap and it make separate curves and I cant join them or some thing like that.
you basically have three ranges:
1st range = 0 To length of Pointlist divided by number of divisions (P.count/D)
2nd range = end range 1 plus one To length of Pointlist - length of pointlist/(d-1)
3rd range:
end of 2nd range +1 To pointlist length-1
(the minus one is for index correction, as lists start to count at index 0)
and then you can just plug the ranges to list items element.
in any way I would try to obtain what you are looking for with tweencurves instead of constructing every single curve.
However, as you would like to do it with Grasshopper elements, I guess @Joseph_Oster is a better choice than me, he’s very experienced in knowing all the plugins and existing elements from plugins. I work so much with c#, so my help is pragmatic but leads you to no learning effect
I added the corrected CS element anyway, it might be of use for you. the element can be copied to other files without problem or any plugins missing. divide pointsV2_CS.gh (11.5 KB)
Be aware that the chamfer-ing towards the end of the definition is a super heavy operation, especially if you have lots of slices. It can easily take up to 15 minutes or longer! It’s thus optional.
