Sample Curve

Sample Curve

Calculates a point on a curve at a certain distance from the start of the curve, specified by the length or factor inputs. It also outputs data retrieved from that position on the curve.

The sampled values are linearly interpolated from the values at the evaluated curve points at each side of the sampled point.

In case that the curve contains multiple splines, the sample position is found based on the total accumulated length, including the lengths of all previous splines. The order of the splines is the same order as displayed in the Spreadsheet Editor.
