Tangents of one curve at division points

In Rhino i drawed three lines and put them in the grasshopper component curves. In the next step I divided these curves. My problem is, that the points aren’t on top of each other. I want the points like my reference picture. Now I have to find the tangents of one curves at the division points and use these tangents as the z-axis of a plane (plane normal). Next I have to solve the intersections between the planes and the other curves with points on. I am a Grasshopper beginnen and don’t know how to implement it. Can someone help?

almost the same as Quan Lis but with the normal planes and direction of the curves adjusted:

Thank you guys!

At the end you have all points in one list/together. How can I get the points of each curve separate?

the points are in 3 branches of the Perp Frame output, you can separate them with Explode Tree
Right click and choose “match outputs” to get all branches.

Now i have a similar problem. I have these two curves and want lines between them like in the pictures. Divide curve doesnt work to get the right result. I want to connect the corners with lines and then create lines between all the corner lines. I hope you can understand my problem.

You might want a solution like this

but the thing with a preset distance (2.15) will not work because the starting points for distance are not defined.
You also could read the grasshopper primer (imo the latest??)

Thank you, thats how i want it! The Primer is very helpful.

Could you help me again please? I have a university project, we should create a bridge in Grasshopper. Now i have some lines and a beam cross section. I like to sweep the beam cross section along the lines. How can i create that?

Who cares! Is saying that supposed to make your question sound more important or urgent? :roll_eyes:

No, i just wanted to explain for what i need the solution and that i am a grasshopper beginner. It should not sound as it used to be more important. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Sounds like desperation to me.

1. Choose a descriptive title for your post
Don’t title your question Help! or I have a problem or Deadline tonight! , but actually describe the problem you are having.

question wasn’t cleer in deed but I’m almost sure that you mean sonmething like that:
