A easy pop quiz: Sub divide curve and attach some pipes to it

Hello,

This one is dead easy, I'm sure.

I have a host curve that I want to divide into three segments. The 2 segments at the end will be the same, the one in the center will vary.

I'd like to use this as the "cutting" part in a boolean (solid difference).

I have the countersink working at the start of the domain, but am not sure how to fix the same countersink to the end of the domain. In the attached file you will see that I have baked an example part, with only one side countersunk.

I hope this is clear!

Thanks,

Daniel

Hello Daniel, There are so many different way to achieve what you want, but if you want to use [SubCrv] component, Here is the definition:

Wow, this is great. Thanks very much for your quick reply. I will recreate these and put them into use right away.

Again, much appreciated!

Thank you,

This is working parametrically, but when applied to multiple curves there are varying values applied to the depth of the countersink. Why is this? Shouldn't the slider value give the same depth of countersink to the ends of all curves?

Genius.

This works like a charm. I will study it to try to understand how it all works together. How did your learn Grasshopper? Practice practice? Can you recommend a good resource for me learn these kinds of skills?

Thank you,

Daniel
