Points Spaced on B-Spline by Distance

SA can construct points on one or more curves spaced by a prescribed distance. This is not a straight-line distance, but a distance along the curve (as if you’d laid a measuring tape of the pre- scribed length along the curve). When creating the points, SA places the first point exactly on the starting end of the curve.

To Create Points Spaced on a Curve by a Prescribed Distance:

  1. From the menu, select Construct>Points>Layout>On Curves>Spaced at Distance.

  2. Select one or more B-splines.

  3. Type a name for the destination group, then click OK.

  4. Enter the specified distance between points, then click OK.
