Hi Matadem,

re:
> Is there a way for the cmorph script to show the distance between before to commit to apply the curves?

Not quite exactly as you ask, because the way cmorph works there is not just one distance value like you describe, there is a separate value for each end:

So like slicing a 3d model in a single direction with no "curve"

I did a jury rig, by using LineWeb to generate a single line then ran calculator to divide it by my tooldiameter to get the number to enter into the morph and generate spacing that was close.

The "Close" came into play because if my line was 6.8824 and i divided it by .5, i got 13.7648, but linemorph only allowed me to enter 13 or 14. So slightly smaller or slightly bigger than .5 tool. A little smaller could work if your step didnt need precision at the perfect level

It seems like this could be scriptable (I am not capable but there are those who could)

If you need the perfect steps of .5, this is what your CAM software does with complex toolpath calcs and algo's.

In other words, it is more like a "Loft that creates curves instead of surfaces"!

MultiISO Could also be used to generate those loft curves. It seems that what is missing will be an automatic calc of the distance of the loft to get a count value to use.

i wonder If a script could do the step distance calc to get the count value?

I wonder if MoI's Loft Command could generate "Curves instead of Surfaces and solids"?

Project can be cool too! ;)

And as history is enabled by default you can adjust like you want!
Here one curve but you can move any number of curves in the same time !

Hi Matadem,

re:

Please try the attached version. This one will show the step distance if all the curves are planar.

Nice!

That is exactly what I needed.

Now I can get things done faster.

Thank you!

Are you sure that "distance" is working ?

Number keeps the control!
