catenary resault curves in 2 direction

dear all,

i create some redial curve using component 'catenary'.

the gravity is not globle but custom defined.

it works pretty well, the only problem is, that the all catenary-curve has two vector-direction group.

so is this the problem caused by 'plane'?

and what can I do so that all the line flip into the same radial-direction?

(i am mean automatically instead of manuell pick-up each curve, because the radial axse could change any time!)

Hmm,

you could measure the distance between the radial center and the starting + end point of every curve. then, for example, you could flip every curve where the end point is farer away from the center than the starting point.
or vice versa

See you

i was think if that problem caused by wrong plane set-up. I am mean ur method might be work, but what about when the geometry not a so simple like a circle but a irregular boundry, in case we need another approach to fix it.

so whats ur opinion if we can fix it by resetting of plane? or i make in general a think-errors in my GH defination i uploaded?
