Construct Points Spaced at a Distance on Curves    

Creates points on one or more B-Spline curves spaced by a specified distance. The distance is specified along the length of the curve.

 

Input Arguments

 

0

Collection Object Name Ref List

B-Spline List

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

1

Double

Distance Between Points

The distance (along the curve) between each adjacent point.

2

Collection Object Name

Resultant Group Name

The group to contain the resulting points.

3

String

Resultant Point Name Prefix

An optional prefix to prepend to each resulting point name.

 

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

If the specified point group already exists, it will automatically be sequenced to prevent duplicate group names. Point names start with “P0” and increment sequentially.

If the distance between points exceeds the length of the curve, then one point will be created at the beginning of the curve.
