Been looking up attributes all morning. Been unable to discern anything of value from Get Data on crvlist.CurveLocation
I pretty much figured that the location is a location along the curve, but is this percentage, SRT, matrix, what? -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __________________________________________________ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party.

I would imagine by its label that "CurveLocation" is a "location" on a curve. So look up the attributes available for a location and there's your answer. A little trial and error can answer the question too. Do a GetData on the CurveLocation attribute and see what you can pull out of it.

Docs for "Curve Distance to Curve Location" for example, say a reference can be used to prevent this kind of conflict. The problem is, there's absolutely nothing in the docs to tell you what the output is or how to use this output correctly. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __________________________________________________ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party.

All I get in the docs is "Custom attribute that is used internally by some of the factory compounds."
