Get rhino object without bake and Sweeping point(?) question

Hi guys,

I have a swept surface that is a untrimmed single surface and when it's baked becomes UV constructed rhino objects.

My first question is

Can I get UV or curves of this rhino object in grasshopper without baking?

What I'm doing here is to get the length of corner step.

So I explode steps and get a distance of U

but this the process is very uncertain in many ways (I think...)

the list is unorganized and segmented so I don't know which U value is coming from.

So the second question is

Can I have curves same as surface edge without sweep?

Is there a way to sweep the point not a curve?

If you have better idea to do this I'm absolutely open.

I really appreciate your time and advices.

You could try something like this to extract particular curves and measure the lengths.

Otherwise you could find the centroid of each of your risers and synchronously sort based on the z-coordinate of the centroid. Then your risers will be ordered.

Thanks Taz.
This is really helpful.
BTW what is the command connecting between Iso curve and point list?

and this is a different question but
is there a way to make a multiple offset?
Offset curve repeatedly with same distance in certain number of times.

I guess it could be made as VB script.
Do I need to modify rhino offset command in VB?

Thanks again!!
