Measuring center of a polyline

Post by celamk »

Hi,

Do CC offer any algorithm that would allow me to mark exact center of a polyline traced on point cloud? I already had such vector from my previous project and tried to calculate normals and convert into dip/direction scale to at least check whether this tool is good at all. As I assumed, it didn't but at least this item was erased from the list :)

Ah, we could give an option to compute the curvilinear coordinates of the points as a scalar field. Then it will give you the opportunity to identify which vertex is the closest to half of the total length... but it won't be the exact half either.

It's a very specific ask ;)

it would be very nice to have a plugin to be able to perform a transformation like this:
