Certainly for that, but also in addition to that it should be possible for me to add a useful feature to the calculator style stuff to make it able to hold several different "memory slots" of numbers where you can store the results of a calculation that you may want to recall later on for use in other spots.

Eventually...

But yeah probably the new quick in-line formula evaluation will actually be more useful than the full calculator would be for just simple things.

gee... hehe... very nice, Michael. Only one note...

You cannot change a direction of the array after picking offset or extent point for Offset,Extent mode (when tracking line appears)?

Petr

Hi Petr, yes it is possible to change the direction - the way it works is the direction is always taken towards the last point picked, regardless of whether that final point is the offset or extent point.

So when you move the final point over to the "other side" of the original line, the array will just flip direction over that way.

Hi Bruce, you had asked:

Today I was able to add a similar function in for Array Curve.

The way it works is the point for the first offset distance will be displayed, and you can now grab that point to edit the offset distance by sliding along the curve, rather than only by typing in a distance value.

So this now allows for more interactive type adjustments like this:

That is so cool! I love the tools you keep developing Michael keep it coming. Thanks again!

That is brilliant. I am used to dealing with requests taking months, sometimes years to get fulfilled...and you've done it in a couple of days. Super impressed.

Hi Michael,

Would it be too weird, if the Array/Curve worked in this manner as well?

- launch command Array/Curve
- push a Done button without selecting an object to array
- in this case, the point object was placed at the curve start point
- this new point became the object to array

It means the Array/Curve could be used as a Divide curve command in Rhino.

Petr

Hi Petr, interesting idea... But yeah it maybe seems somewhat unintuitive for someone to think to try that (use the array function with no objects that is) to get equally spaced points.

It seems like a Divide command would maybe be a more expected place to find that kind of function.

One thing I had thought of was having options in a Divide command for either placing points, trimming the curve into multiple segments instead of just adding points, and maybe also producing a polyline from the curve as well.

So that seems like enough functions to make a separate divide function be worthwhile.

Thank you ! I am realy happy that one of my wishes from the wishlist
has been fullfilled ... and in an awsomes extend !
thanks a lot !
