Length component - BUG or ?

Hi all GH'ers 

 

I think I've found a bug in the "Length"-component. 

It seems like the component calculates as length of domain and factual length. 

 

Here is a example. 

I need to know the length of a curve. The curve is made as an intersection between a doublecurved surface(import) and a 4PtSrf (planar). 

 

When intersection result only contain 1 curve the length component seems to calcutate the length as a domain(size), otherwise with the result as two curves, the length is 2 sizes of factual sizes.

 

I would like the component to calculate the factual size everytime or is that a misunderstanding?

 

Hope you all understand my english and what I'am trying to explain :)

Hi Michael,

 

both seem factual sizes, the only difference is the notation.

1.3375e4 = 1.3375 * 10^4 = 13375 units

 

If this still seems incorrect, could you please upload the definition?

Hope this helps,

- Giulio

Hi Guilio

 

Rookie Faillure BIG time :)

 

The other notation starts after 1000.0 units BTW:)

 

Thanks a lot
