thanks, looks pretty good. yes, I would like to rotate the profile based on the curvature of a second curve at a point which corresponds to the divison point on the first curve (where the profile gets placed)
can you you attach the definition file ? thanks, Peter On Oct 18, 1:35 am, visose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I tried to replicate what I think you are trying to > achieve:http://grasshopper3d.googlegroups.com/web/arrayrotate.jpg.
