thank you for your help, that is what I wanted to do. I wanted the lines to be segmented, so im assuming i just swap the interpolate curve for a polyline? My apologies if this is totally obvious, but what do i set as the expression in the four-variable function and what would i do if i want the line to respond to more than one circle?
