What is the most SIMPLE way to set and use an attractor point on curves?

Hi,

I have these curves:

i would like to have an attractor point that will control one side of them:

I also want to have them lofted:

and eventually control this loft precisely with the attraction point:

How could this be done in the most SIMPLE way?

I have seen all kinds of examples that involves all kinds of components and math..

again, I am looking for the most simple way.

I'll appreciate any help..

Thank you.

Hi Roy,

I don´t know what you mean with simple? Grasshopper is a program wich is based mostly on Points and Vectors Logic so if you search easy streching modules to get quick models work with "Cage Edit" Or Pres "F10" in Rhino. So you can Strech manual to make 3Dsketches.

but the easyest way to solve this problem in grasshopper can be to evaluate the CURVE and generate POINTS. So you can creat with "Vector To Point" Vectors between your Atraktor point and Evaluated Points. Of course you have to optimize your Vectors to get the soulution wich you are seek.

I hope I could help you,

Thank you ILIAS,

I have tried it before- what you've suggested with evaluating the curve and making points and so on but i ran into a number of issues,

I will keep trying it though..

Thanks a lot!
