Construct Points on Curves Using Max Chordal Deviation    

Creates points on the selected curves (b-splines) spaced the curvature parameters, creating a denser distribution with tighter turns along the curve length.

 

Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Object Name Ref List

B-Spline List

A list of B-Splines onto which to create the points.

1

Double

Maximum Chordal Deviation

The maximum distance a chord segment can devi- ate from the curve

2

Double

Maximum Trim Edge Angle

Maximum angle a chordal section can reach rela-

tive to the curve without adding a point.

3

Double

Maximum Chord Length

Maximum length a chord can be between points

4

Collection Object Name

Resulting Group Name

Resulting group name for the created points.

5

String

Resulting Point Name Prefix

Starting prefix for the created points.

 

Return Arguments

None.

 

Returned Status

 

SUCCESS

At least one of the B-Splines was found, and the points were created successfully.

FAILURE

None of the B-Splines were found.

 

Remarks

Set either the Maximum Trimmed Edge Angle (A2) or the Maximum Chord Length (A3) to zero ignore this param- eter in the construction operation.
