About this Block

What it does: The Spline through Points block creates a spline from a list of points. The order of points in this list determine how the spline passes through them. The spline travels from point to point, so the order will greatly affect the output curve. Common uses:
  • Input for Sweep Profile
  • Creating Profiles
Tips
  • If the first and last point are the same, it will create a closed curve.
  • By checking the periodic input, the curve will also be closed even if it does not have the same start and end point.

Spline through Points

Points, Integer, Bool, 5.20.0

Create a Spline that passes through multiple points.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
PointsPoint ListOrdered list of points to pass the curve through. Curve will be closed if start and end point are the same.
DegreeIntegerDegree of the spline.
PeriodicBoolMake the spline periodic. This will close the curve even if the start and end point are not the same.

Outputs

Spline

Points, Integer, Bool, Vector, Vector, 5.28.0

Create a Spline that passes through multiple points.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
PointsPoint ListOrdered list of points to pass the curve through. Curve will be closed if start and end point are the same.
DegreeIntegerDegree of the spline.
PeriodicBoolMake the spline periodic. This will close the spline even if the start and end point are not the same. If both the start tangent and end tangent inputs are not specified, the spline’s start and end tangent will be made the same.
Start tangentVectorOptional tangent vector of the spline at the start point. The magnitude of this value will determine the distance to the adjacent control point.
End tangentVectorOptional tangent vector of the spline at the end point. The magnitude of this value will determine the distance to the adjacent control point.
