Dividing an Angle

by Michelle Frantellizzi

Nov 7, 2013

Hey Everyone,

I am new to VB and I am trying to write something that will divide an angle in a particular way.

I have attached an image of an angle and some components that i was using to think through the problem. I have also attached the gh file.

1. I would like to have the inputs be an angle and a number of divisions.

2. Then i need to take the number of divisions and add one to it (example: # of Divisions = 4 so then the number we are actually dividing the angle by would be 5)

In this example the angle 83.53 is divided by 5 to give you a 16.706 angle.

3.Then the divided angle number gets divided by 2 (16.706/2=8.353)

4. The smaller angle number should always be the end angles and the other angles should be the larger number.

I need this to be recursive so that when the number of divisions changes you dont have to copy another rotate component.

I know this was probably a little unclear. I hope the attached file and image help.

I am not sure how to start writing this in a vb component.

If anyone could help me get started I would sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks,

Michelle

    Hi Michelle,

    see the definition attached for 2 different ways of dividing an angle and how to use the angles to manipulate geometry then.

    i didn't really understand, what you're trying to do and why you'd make a vb component. Anyhow, i made you an example in vb and c# so you can think about it and compare it with the other example, that was done with gh components only.

    Hope this helps,

    FF
