Mass Addition Circle pattern Varability

Hi, I am trying to get circle along an isocurve to scale from small to large and then at the midpoint scale back to the original circumference. Right now I can achieve small to large and the reverse, but I cannot combine the scripts accurately. Also the negative script is not evenly spaced for some reason. My end goal is to attach multiple isocurves at once to the script and then control the size of the pattern on each curve.

Thanks you

Hope this will help you. I did it with cone and worked on only u grid. With this definition, you have to recreate perpendiculars again for v grid.

Hi Sumeet,

This is an interesting script you have created. I think I can use your logic for more of a wrapped surface. I am attempting to perforate a surface with variable circle in my case. Thank you again.

Here is a more refined definition that is much closer.

Hi Erick

I found your logic very interesting.

As you say "scale from small to large and then at the midpoint scale back to the original circumference."

Does it means 3 2 1 where 2 is your midpoint.

If yes then it is a linear line. Just selecting Graph mapper to linear instead of parabolic, will solve it.

If this is not your concern. I would really love to understand the problem.

Hi sumeet,

Yes that does allow a more efficient solution than the parabola. Thank you. My main problem now, is data tree related. I I have the scaled circles occurring in vertical direction and not along the isocurves. I suppose I can attempt isocurve at a time but still it is not occurring along the horizontal. Thank you

Hey Erik

I am bit struggling with the understanding of problem. Previously circles were meant for surface perforation. Now you want their normals aligned to iso curve. Are you trying for rail !!

Here I put your circle's normal along curve.
