Point Set - Curve Percentage - does not work as it should
Point Set - Curve Percentage - does not work as it should
(OP)
Hi
I`m trying to create two points on a spline curve at the 33% and 66% of the spline lenght
I use Point Set - Curve Points and Curve Percentage Subtype.
It creates points but when I later on divide original spline with created points -> divided curves are not equal.
Even when you look at the attached picture it clearly shows that points are not distributed equally.
Any ideas why it does not work ?

Try "geometric progression" subtype.
Thanks,

Thanks for the tip but
geometric progression works fine but only when you have progression. It will not allow me to place points as "percentage subtype" where I have a list and I could put 33%, 66% and for example 55% in one feature.
Although I could do it in two/three separate features but it`s only a workaround.

You could use Equal Arc Length and place 4 points starting at 0 and ending at 100, ignore the endpoints and use the 2 between the ends to divide the curve. That's the only method I've found that consistently works through the length of a spline.
