subdivision of a divided curve

Hi,

Im a beginner in working with grasshopper, so my question might be really easy for you guys..

Im trying to divide a circle curve with a few parameters -

The first step is to equally divide the circle - Which i managed to do

but for redividing the received segments I need a way, the way I understand it , to control the segments, and I cant find a way to do so.. I can only control the first division points.

I added 2 images - the first is the grasshopper result in rhino

and the second is kinda what I want to receive with the second division

I really hope you can help me!!

perhaps you should look into the "sub curve" component.. divide the circle as you do, feed the thus generated parameters into "sub curve" and then re-divide those curves again.

First of all, thanks for the fast reply!!

actually Im trying to create various sections of divided circle. i know it sounds kinda stupid but its for a project Im working on...

i tried before to divide the curve with "sub"curve" component but i guess i keep on connecting it the wrong way.. cus it seems like it doesnt do anything (though the component isnt painted orange or red or anything like that).

the main idea is to have first an equal division of the circle and then a second division as presented in the previous images, so that i can redivide a part of the divided circle again.

i added the grasshopper layout so you can see what ive done - perhaps the whole process is wrong...

Have a look at this recent discussion. Ignore the problems, but the methods are sound...

hi taz,

thanks!
I tried to follow your example presented in that link, for using the "subcurv"for division,
but ,as happened to me before, when i try to redivide the "subcurv" nothing happens.

do you have any idea what am i doing wrong?
