‘TM Point On Curve’ Case Studies

This following grasshopper snippets explain how to use component using the various input types available.

Registered users can download the grasshopper file from here:

‘Control Each’ as False

Using Absolute Distances

Creating Points using absolute distances-A
Creating points using absolute distances-B

Using ‘Relative’ Distances

Creating point using relative distances-A
Creating points using relative distances-B

Using ‘Divisions’

Creating points using no. of divisions-A
Creating points using no. of divisions-B

The points have been created using the following logic.

Divisions-4; Distance interval : 7500/4 = 1875 mm.

  • Point 1 : Z = 1875 mm
  • Point 2 : Z =3750 mm
  • Point 3 : Z =5625 mm

Using ‘Parameters’

Creating points using ‘Parameters’-A
Creating points using Parameters-B

Using all input types together

All input types can be used together as well.

Creating points using all inputs-A
Creating points using all inputs-B

‘Control Each’ as True

Notice that as branch {0;1} is empty, hence the second column does not have any points generated on it.

Using ‘Absolute’ distances

Creating points using absolute distances on selected lines-A
Creating points using absolute distances on selected lines-B

Using ‘Relative’ distances

Creating points using relative distances on selected lines-A
Creating points using relative distances on selected lines-B

Points on Line 1 (0;0) where reference point is start point:

  • 0.26*7500 = 1950 mm
  • 0.34*7500 = 2550 mm

Points on line 3 (0;2) where reference point is the end point.

  • 7500-0.2*7500 = 7500-1500 = 6000 mm

Points on line 4 where reference point is the start point.

  • 0.75*7500 = 5625 mm
  • 0.5*7500 = 3750 mm

Using ‘Divisions’

Creating points using divisions on selected lines-A
Creating points using divisions on selected lines-B

Using ‘Parameters’

Creating points using parameters on selected lines-A
Creating points using parameters on selected lines-B

Using All inputs together*

Creating points using all input types on selected lines-A
Creating points using all input types on selected lines-B

A bug was noticed when using all the inputs together with ‘Control Each’ as true, this has been rectified. Please get in touch with us, if you are still facing this issue.

Multiple Input Types

The component can also handle multiple inputs of different types as shown below.

Both absolute and relative distance types along with different reference points can be used for creating points on a single curve.
