Help please I am trying to place points on a curve at 400 mm from the beginning and end points, and then at intervals no more than 800 mm. I imagine I could input some formula like length/800 to place the correct number of points. I have attached an example of the problem I’m trying to solve. I’ve…

Seems maybe you are on Rhino5. Rhino 6 has new multiplication and subtraction components. Just replace them based on the screenshot. If you are into plug-ins, you can do this pretty easy with Pufferfish using Open Curve and Point Divide Curve Target Length. [Capture] Pf_DivideTarget.gh (11.8 KB) …

Note that you can also use the Extend Curve component with negative extension distances to cut off an exact amount from each end.

Hi Michael, This worked with a straight line but it gives me different values for non linear curves. I’ve attached the definition with the curve. Please check it out. Pf_DivideTarget_JT.gh (12.8 KB) [3d%20curve]

it is correct, don’t measure non linear curves with a linear dimension :smiley: Or override the text of the dimensions with the curve lengths. [Capture] Pf_DivideTarget_MP.gh (13.7 KB)

This works perfectly. Thank you! I’m still trying to understand how you did this and what the components do for my own learning. I appreciate the help!

@HS_Kim This one does the trick as well. you guys are awesome. :star_struck:

I want to mark both definitions as the solution. Is there a way?

@HS_Kim would there be a way to do this to multiple curves at a time? I have about 300+ curves I need to do this to :disappointed_relieved:

Points on curve equally spaced from new start/end points
