I'm using the in-house version here which might have different automatic data conversion than the one you have (I'm too lazy to check). I've marked the conversions in red, so if that doesn't work, you'll have to add additional components to extract length and tangent data. -- David Rutten [email protected] Robert McNeel & Associates On Feb 23, 11:24 pm, Beverly Tang <[email protected]> wrote: > i just realized that because the origin curves are different lengths, the > divided lengths between one curve and the other will not be the same so i > probably won't get perfect rectangles (probably "soft" trapezoids). however, > i do need as close to 90 degree corners as possible. note: the z position of > these end points are variable. > > so honestly, i'll take either method depending on the possibility of doing > either automatically (parallel trapezoids with almost 90 degree angles OR > perfect rectangles that are not parallel to each other). > > Stan, i attached another small screenshot to show what i'm trying to do. > > beverly > > On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 2:07 PM, fraguada <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Beverly, > > > You want these slats to be all parallel to each other, or just > > rectangles with the slight rotation you have now? > > > luis > > > On Feb 23, 10:58 pm, Stan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 90 degrees to what? can you draw a quick sketch? > > > > On Feb 23, 3:42 pm, Beverly Tang <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > hello everyone, > > > > noobie here. this may sound like a simple task but i am not having much > > > > luck. > > > > > i'm trying to create "planks" that lay side-by-side inside a "path". in > > > > other words, i first divide 2 cuves, then connect the corresponding > > points > > > > between the 2 curves to create the slats. but i'm stuck on how to > > making 90 > > > > degree rectangles with this list of consecutive lines. > > > > > my next task would be to create a surface out of these rectangles but > > i'll > > > > be happy if i even get the rectangles because i've got a lot of curves > > to > > > > divide. any help would be great. i attached screenshots in case anyone > > needs > > > > a visual aid of what i'm doing. > > > > > thanks in advance! > > > > > beverly > > > > > screenshot.jpg > > > > 43KViewDownload > > > > > patch.jpg > > > > 45KViewDownload > > > > screenshot2.jpg > 12KViewDownload
