I'm trying to place points along this curve at 1 unit increments (inches in this case). After that, I want to export the XYZ coordinates of these point to be able to use them in excell.
In the attached file, the curve was create from a spline, so the base file could also be just a long spline.
The curves / spline I'm working with are going to be 1000 to 5000 units long. I know how to place up to 100 reference points along the curve, but I need more refinement than that.
Thanks!
A long winded workaround...
Use the first set of 100 points to split the spline, then repeat the Ref Point > Equally Spaced function to place 10 to 50 points on each segment.
There was a macro posted on one of the forums which exported the XYZ points. I'll see if I have a copy or can locate it.
Maybe one of these will work for you;
