Hi!
In Allplan, is there any direct tool to convert Spline to Polyline (with a fixed lenght of chord) ?
I share a screenshot.
Kind regards,

A nice task for a PythonPart or VisualScripting!
PseudoCode:
point = startpoint
next:
draw circle at point with radius (chord)
find intersection with spline
point = intersectionpoint
goto next
connect points with polyline
But Attention:
Modifyable PythonPart support no selection/takeover of geometry elements :-(
VisualScripting supports no loops :-(

Good morning Nemo!
Thanks a lot for your fast answer. As always, your help is super useful :-D
In our office, we use in depth Grasshopper and Dynamo, and by now, my experience with allplan visualscripting tool is not good:
- There is no nodes that calls the main allplan tools like Walls, columns, slabs, facades, railings, and so on...
- And as you explained, modifyable PythonPart support no selection/takeover of geometry elements, VisualScripting tool supports no loops
My impression about Allplan visualscripting tool is:
- It seems like it's only focused mainly for reinforcement purposes :-(
- Allplan scripting needs to improve a lot.... Maybe it will be as good as Grasshopper or Dynamo in some years... Maybe too much time for us, I think, to waiting to be useful for general purposes.
Kind regars,
