Why Is My Attractor Symmetrically Affecting Both Sides? 🚨


What I’m Trying to Achieve

I want my attractor curve to affect peak points only on one side of my geometry, rather than symmetrically on both sides.

:small_blue_diamond: The Issue:

Instead of pulling points only on one side,

my attractor is affecting points symmetrically on both sides.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? :thinking: Any ideas on how to ensure the attractor only pulls points on one side instead of symmetrically?

Thanks in advance for any insights! :folded_hands:

You’ve done exactly what I wanted. :clap: Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with this for a whole week :smiley:


I’m trying to create a spiraling curve that continuously extends along the Z-axis while applying an attractor curve. However, I’m experiencing distortion on the side portions of the attractor-applied curve.

Could I get some help with this issue?

The attached image shows the nodes I used to create the spiral curve.

Spiral?

I reduced the number of Z-steps to make it easier to understand

I’m trying to generate a continuous spiral curve along the Z-axis with an attractor curve applied. The goal is to create a shape similar to Vase Mode in 3D printing, where the curve flows smoothly without interruptions.

Could I get some help resolving this issue?

I received great help, and I’m really grateful! You provided exactly the code I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I’ll definitely share a vase printed with your code later. Have a great evening!
