Re: Knot distance on path

["Robert Moodie" <robertm(at)hybride.com>]

Joey,

 

You need to use Dictionary.GetObject to turn the string (your curve by name) into an object.

 

e.g.

oCurvePrim = Dictionary.GetObject( "TestCurve.crvlist" )

percentage = oCurvePrim.Geometry.Curves(0).GetPercentageFromU(3.0);

LogMessage (percentage);
