The curve is flat in the xy plane. I thought I tried all the other orthographic planes to check but it didn't seem to work for any. I'll give'r another shot (on Monday).

If your curve is in the XY plane following the Y direction, you should use the XZ plane.
I think the extremes points are defined by the normal vector of the plane.

Thinking the same thing I swear I had tried that... Of course now it's working perfectly.

Another false alarm...

thanks for the surface split component, it's exactly what I expected !

hi david.
thanks for the update!
are clusters coming back anytime soon?

Hi David,

I'm having an issue with surface normals not agreeing between rhino and grasshopper. possible bug?

Hi David,

Is the Bounding Box Component broken?

I supply a series of points on a single branch and it gives me a series of boxes, one for each point, where I would expect a single box containing all points.

Best regards,
Danny

Hi Danny
components are talking to you so you should check the U input ;)
just kidding so if you want to have one single bounding-box you have to set the U input to true
to force the component to calculate one otherwise you get for all the objects in the list one bounding-box

Hi David
great presentation in vienna ... it was really fun

found some little bugs

List insert component:
if i deliver multiple indices for the item to insert it does only set eh first one right and the component change to red and tells me arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow

point list
if i disable the component the visual feedback is still present

David, are you considering the idea for the future to save the group of component as preset?
A sottware of you competitors (A..ut...sk So..fti..ge) has something similar, but a little bit more sophisticated, that they call "compound", and it's very useful.
Good works

Paolo

Hi Paolo,

I've seen some ICE online videos. It does look pretty good. The basic plan is to have clusters operate in this way.
