divide curve by distance between points

Im trying to divide a curve with the divdist component to then generate a polyline from the divided points.

i want this polyline to made up of multiple predetermined linear lengths say 1m, 2m 4m.

when i input multiple values into the divdist all i get is the same curve divided multiple time by the same value over and over.

any ideas how i can control this?

thanks

It would be nice to use a loop algorithm. This one is an example using "Anemone" plug-in.

this is a great solution. Thankyou

As I recall, iteration is the only proper way to do this - a loop using Anemone. I know I've posted code like that here in the past... OK, see next post.

This can be close ('Crv 1') except when the polyline takes too big a "short cut" from the curve ('Crv 2'):

P.S. Rats, 'Crv 1' isn't internalized in the GH file I attached - oh well.

P.P.S. I just looked at Hyungsoo Kim's code and we took a very different approach inside the loop. I used 'DivDist', then split the curve at the first point and passed the remainder of the curve back into the loop. Attaching code again with both curves internalized.
