Hi Jessi,
there are several approaches that might work for you. I think the
component you want to use to generate your points is the [Evaluate
Length] component, which will allow you to generate points on a curve
at specific length ratios.
So the question now becomes, how do you generate your length ratios?
You can start with a [Range] component, and generate -say- 11 numbers
between 0.0 and 1.0:
{0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0}
When you plug these numbers into the [Evaluate Length] component
you'll get an equidistant division, similar to [Divide Curve].
You can use a [Graph Mapper] to modify the length ratios. Just create
a new [Graph Mapper] object and insert it in between the [Range] and
[Evaluate Length] components. Then pick a graph type from the [Graph
Mapper] menu and drag control points to tweak the distribution.
-------------------------------------
If you cannot find a Graph type that's flexible enough to give you the
distribution you want, you'll probably have to draw an actual curve in
Rhino and use a combination of Intersection and Evaluation components
to achieve the same effect as the [Graph Mapper].
