custom curve resampling

[voxpad]

Hi there,

Was wondering how I could get the following outcome.

If I have a curve which looks like https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink

I would like to resample each of the straight lined segments in following manner, If segment 0-1 is 8 units long, then it should have 9 points placed at intervals of 1 unit, starting at position 0. https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink

In case, If the segment was say 8.4(float value) units long, then it would still have 9 points placed at intervals of 1 unit, but starting at position 0.2 so that it would look like, https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlink

In case of the curved segment, from 4-11, It should consider all the segments between 4-11, as one single segment and resample it in the above manner.

This is beacuse I want to preserve the shape of the curve and at the same time distribute points on the curve at intervals of 1 unit distance. So that geometry of 1 unit size can be instanced on the curve later on.

Thank you.

Hi vivek,

Have you tried polyspline sop ?

Keep spline type> linear and division method> even and specify divisions.

Cheers!

You can also append a carve sop before the polyspline and cut by giving starting /ending position to adjust the resampled curve.

Hi Gaurav,

Both polyspline and carve sop are just what I needed. They work like a charm. Thank you
