fillet in spline.. how to get it working? code included

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 16:27:39 GMT

Hello all my first post here so i appreciate all help. Start scripting month ago.

Problem desc: I have a 'planar' spline in which i want to fillet say all knots they are 20, but i'm missing any control about this in maxscript only through UI which is inacceptable for me. Ifound only this reference in help and i'm curious if it is possible in curent maxscript version 😞


Constructor

fillet_chamfer ...

Properties

There are no additional properties for Fillet_Chamfer.

and


splineOps.startFillet <editable_spline_or_line_node_or_modifier>

i'm confused about how to get this work
say script is part of function and spline is constructed from array of points as point3 in for loop

scripted function here: it's pretty nasty and requies cleaning a bit but im in a hurry


spline1 = pickObject prompt:"enter a shape1"
spline2 = pickObject prompt:"enter a shape2"
turns = 20
radius = 10
nahoda = 5

fn splinefrom2splines spline1 spline2 turns radius nahoda = (
    local knots1 = #()
    local knots2 = #()
    local knotsA = #()
    local knotsB = #()
    local lenght1 = curveLength spline1 1
    local lenght2 = curveLength spline2 1
    local ss
    local arr_ss =#()
    local  i=1
    local cast = 1 as float /turns
    local bod1 = point size:10 
    local bod2 = point size:10 
    bod1.wirecolor = green
    bod2.wirecolor = red
    bod1.pos.controller=path follow:true
    bod2.pos.controller=path follow:true
    PosCont1=bod1.pos.controller
    PosCont1.path=spline1
    PosCont1.axis=2
    PosCont2=bod2.pos.controller
    PosCont2.path=spline2
    PosCont2.axis=2
    local knots =#()
    knots = 0
    
    animate on -- create keys
    ( 
        for i=1 to turns do
        (
            at time i PosCont1.percent= (100 / turns) * i
            at time i PosCont2.percent= (100 / turns) * i
        )
    )
    for i=1 to turns do -- get point positions at time
    (
       sliderTime = i
        in  coordsys world
        (
            knots1 = bod1.position
            knots2 = bod2.position
          )
    )
    -- begin construction of spline shape
    for i=1 to turns by 2 do -- A side loop
    (
        knots = knots1
    )
    for i=2 to turns by 2 do -- B side loop
    (
        knots = knots2
    )

    -- create acctual spline

    ss = splineshape pos:knots
    addNewSpline ss
    for i=1 to turns do
    (
        local bod
        bod = knots as point3
        addKnot ss 1 #corner #line bod
    )
    updateShape ss
    ss
-- >>>>>> HERE BEGIN PROBLEM PART !!!!! <<<<<
    select ss
    subobjectLevel = 1
    actionMan.executeAction 0 "40021"
    splineOps.startFillet ss 
)

splinefrom2splines spline1 spline2 turns radius nahoda

it's not nessesary to calculate fillet in 3d just 2d. it is part of bigger project and resulting spline is control object for animation of mooving skier 🙂
thnx for ANY advice point for similar script which is working

bye peter

it is possible to make another function which add circle with radius at each knot and slice at intercect then colect intersections and original knots sort them in correct order and drav spline with arcs and lines? for me it is much of coding.. some links to spline editing scripts would be handsom..

thnx
