Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi!

I just tried to select one random point on each curve. Therefor i divided the curves by length and then I tried to select one point via list item by a random index input. At least, the selection is not really random. 

Thanks,

benjamin

Hi Benjamin, can you post a file? it's hard to tell what the problem is only looking at the image.

If you want to select random points on a curve, a better approach could be to generate random numbers from 0 to 1 and use them as the t input of the evaluate curve component, you would have to reparameterize the curves as well.

Also, I would recommend that you keep the Draw Fancy Wires option under the display menu on, it will help you understand better what type of data flows from a component to the other, and make it easier for other people to help when looking at a screenshot. Have a look here for more information

Hi Mire,

The problem is that I want to move one point (controll point) of the original curve outside to create some discontinutis and then rebuild the curve. So I divided the curve to get the points to interpolate it later again with the one moved point.

Hi Benjamin,

The issue was in the seed of the random component as David mentioned. You need to provide a different seed for every domain, in this case I made a series of numbers that are used as different seeds, but you could use another random component for this purpose

Thank you so much Mire, now it works perfectly!

Best regards

I suspect the problem is that you're using the same Seed values for both random components. That'll give you the same random sequence every time. But as mire said, without a file it's difficult to be sure.

I don't think [Random] can handle multiple domains.
get a list of random numbers equal to the number of curves, then Remap them to the domains.
also, subtracting the domain by 1 makes the probabilities unequal, for 5 items remap them to a domain of 0 to 5 say, then round down.

Also, seconding the fancy wires option, took me a while to figure out, especially as parts of the definition are off-screen :/

Edit: posted before you posted the .gh, but hopefully no other complications, havent checked
