Sweep not consistent

Hi,

Just flipped that curve rail in rhino. Sometimes when you prepare a set of reference geometry (e.g. a set of sweep rails) make sure that every object have the same properties (e.g. curves with same direction) to avoid mistakes.

ps : evaluate curve component doesn't measure distance as it refers to control points outside the curve -- use rather point on curve component set on 0.5 to find the middle of a curve.

Best,

Derrick

Thanks Derrick!

Works great now. Is there any way flip the curves that return as null from the sweep inside grasshopper?

You're welcome !

There is a way. Try it with some flipped curves, then check out the new grouped components, they're easy to figure out. :)

The script works perfectly now. Learned a lot from your advice:)
