I have already watched a tutorial on the different types of divide option on curves but I still cant really grasp the difference between Divide length and Divide distance in grasshopper? If someone could also visually help me understand this, it would be great!
The answer is in the description.
Divide length = divide a curve into segments with preset length.
Divide distance = divide a curve with a preset distance between points.
in Divide length the curve segment between each division point will be the same length, except whatever is leftover at the end.
in Divide distance the distance linearly from point to point will be the same. (also visualized with a circle of the same size as the distance at each point.)

Thank you very much Pryor! It was clear (
What is the meaning of t Parameter values at division points ? Isn’t it the distance from the point to the start point?
Parameter values represent the position according to the current domain of the curve.
If you reparameterize the curve component before dividing, the domain will yield parameter values between 0 and 1.
If you are not yet familiar with these concepts, the following is a great place to start:
