Hello Karsten and Friends
Great Work with the new Vectors Nodes.......amazing
I'm starting to use them to test them ,
then , surely , you will need clarification ,
for now thank you for your commitment.
Take this opportunity to send a new test
on Fold / Unfold
Have a nice day to all

Ps- to see the file access links

Hello Al,

thanks for sharing! I can't test it at the moment -I hope in the evening, but the pictures a very promising:-)

Have a nice day
Karsten

p.s.: Please, tell me more details about uncertainties with the vector nodes.

Cool continuation!

Hello Karsten and Friends

Doing an experiment of manipulation coordinate point
inserting a point attractor, I found out that Point Ex Node
It does not return the sorted values in order to create curves in U
or V-
Wanting to act with idx select point, I can not utomatizzare
the insertion indices
to be able to sort and group the points and have them ready for
create curves ...
I have to do it one by one?
I believe that this problem must be solved ...
We should get out put what we get
using Poin or Point Math
ie, through ConvertPoint-(set of curves)
separate curves ..
I can not add attachments
then the file is available at the link

Ps - would not hurt to add a node
Point to Point Distance .....
I hope so

Hello Al,

the problem is that I made the node for other things and so some meta informations (xlength,ylength and zlength) are lost between split and ext. But you don't need it. Maxs math points can do the job already.
Nevertheless I can add the meta informations also.

Have a look in the file.

Have a nice evening
Karsten

Hi Karsten,

Although in this instance the desired result could be achieved with a maths formula; there are many situations where it would be useful to insert truncation points into a point array to break it into multiple discreet point arrays for the generation of discreet curves for lofting.

Perhaps "idxSelect" could have an "TruncPt"mode and Curve node may also need to have multiprocess functionality (mCurve)

Keep up the good work
-James

Hello James,

Yes you're right - a good idea. It would help in some situations to have the infos (xlength ... ) inside the output of idxSelect. I have to think about how to implement it.

Thanks and have a nice day
Karsten

p.s.: Curve has this feature already ...

Hello Karsten
thanks for the prompt response, but perhaps I did not explain
well
It is clear that using a formula can
to influence the formation of the surface ...
even if as in this case very " brainy " ;
but what I wanted to achieve is that simply by
the changes were driven by the position
of a point we call " Attractor ";
the variation of its cordinates, you'll have different distances
from the points of the grid ..
therefore taking advantage of the variation of this
parameter I want to vary the surface
That's why I think it is necessary that idx select
maintaining the incoming structure, and therefore also the output
of data relating to the points ....
I hope you can take action
Have a nice day

Hello Al,

sorry that I get you wrong. I added the meta infos in split and pointext. So please replace the files with the attached ones and try again.

Have a nice day
Karsten

Good Mornig Karsten.
truly unpayable as always
thank you....
I try, but I think now it's OK
good work

Hello Karsten
I was too optimistic
I can not understand exactly how link
Split node to Ex Point node-
Can you give me an example on my file
thank you

Hi Al

>>Can you give me an example on my file<<

I assume this is what you wanted (see attached)

Hello James
Thanks for your help
I had not connected all the new output on
SplitPoint node ...
Now works fine-
The sense of experiment is that by varying the
position of the point attractor in the grid ,
the changes are reflected on the surface .....
Try to modify , I think is interesting to
also manipulate the formation of curves.
thanks again

Sì, è tecnica molto utile per patterning variegata determinata dalla vicinanza.

Good afternoon James ,
Your answer in my language and very
appreciated by me, and a considerable effort for you ...
thank you-
I wanted to share with you and the friends that my test
on Attractor point on a grid of surfaces
planar ....
By changing the parameters of the point Attractor , and
mathematical formula of deformation points
in some places of the planar mesh
It has holes.....
when it fails to meet the requirements
flatness ...
At least I think so

Hi Al,

>>in some places of the planar mesh has holes.....
when it fails to meet the requirements: flatness ...<<

Planar is very strict in its application. An alternative approach to satisfy your requirements is to select (patternSelectArray) 3 points (rather than 4) of the facets, using the 1st & 2nd points to define a profile and the 2nd & 3rd to define a rail then Sweep. Voila! planar surfaces with no holes: see attached

.>>Your answer in my language and very appreciated by me, and a considerable effort<<

It was no effort at all. I am soon to embark on trip to Cuba, and had been using "translate.google.com" in my dealings with various accomodations, so I simply did one more.

As an native English speaker it is I that is appreciative of your efforts and those of others (Karsten, Marco, Pilou et al).

So thank you, James

Hello James
I know how to build Loft or Sweep
instead of Surf Planar.....
I just wanted to say, and perhaps I expressed myself badly,
to create of surfaces Planar can serve to test
the subdivision of a surface, into sub-units
which have precisely these requirements ...
In this way, you can see how many modules
fulfill that condition
Make a good Holiday

Hello Friends
I want to share with you
the latter test Fold / Unfold -
Merry Christmas to All
and do resend after theHolidays
