Another question regrading the script :

The sine wave always starts at the origin point . is there a way of letting
it start at specific coordinates ?

Nonzero center coordinates could be added. Forcing the user to pick a point every time the script is run might be annoying? Maybe add a "pick center" check box?
Or have entry boxes for x, y, z coordinates, with default (0, 0, 0)?

The 3d orientation could be set up pre-script with cplane?

Hi, I am currently using the script to create "sinewaved" surfaces and tried to create a sinewave
at a specific location by simply picking a point before running the script, but it looks like it always starts
at the origin, just wanted to know if I missed a hidden functionality. What I do now is to move my
object to the origin to "place" the sinewave.

The script would need an update to the formula, adding x,y,z, per the formula in one of the links. Also would need "select center point" point picker code. Neither of these changes is very hard, given lots of study of other scripts. IMHO

Here is an updated version, which requires that a center point be picked.

CircularSineWave3 is deleted.

CircularSineWave4 uses a picked center point.
For orienting the sine wave, prior setup of a cplane is very helpful. Then use 3d view to avoid stacked points.

Otherwise, the orientation is based upon the view used to select the point.
If two points are stacked in the Top/Bottom, Front/Back, or Right/Left view, the selected point is the point closer to the observer.

Apparently pointpicker by itself, and CircularSineWave3, does not pay any attention to a cplane which has been set up before the script. (?)

So in order to place a CircularSineWave "parallel," for example, to say a random face of an object, manually apply a cplane to the face, with the normal
perpendicular to the face, then run CircularSineWave4 and select the cplane application point, in 3d view. (Avoiding stacked points.)
So CircularSineWave3 is nominated for deletion :-)

Revised CircularSineWave4 due to my poor display .htm code.
Only 3 people downloaded the poor version, so please upload the corrected version 4.
