Welcome, Marcelinho.
Try a Rick Wilsons "pathcopy.rb" at Smustard: http://www.smustard.com/script/PathCopy
-
I have already treid this script, but it just produces equidistant components along a path.
How to produce them with distances depending on a formula or something like that? -
Well, there's a 'Copy to Path Nodes' option...not so 'automatic' but can save a lot of time.
-
How to create defined nodes at a path?
-
That exactly what I want. Defining the multicopy function by a formula...
-
Marcelinho, that would be a great idea for a new Ruby script.
or even better: a direct implementation into SketchUp, with the following workflow
you move copy an object a certain distance (lets say 2 meters)
then instead of simply typing in 6* to get ten copies with the same distance, you type:
6 * y=x^2
the first number (6) defines the number of copies, the equation defines the change of spacing (here 2, 4, 8, 16... meters).

I think I almost solved the problem,
just arrange the group along a graph made by grapheuation and then projet it to the y axis.
But how to project every group ( move to x=0 ) automatically with the projection tool ???
-
Is there a possibility to move automatically all selected objects to x=0 ?
-
I didn't really understand what you suggested. is "grapheuation" a ruby to create graphical representations of mathematical equations?
how to set all groups to x=0? well there is the "drop" ruby, that drops all groups at the next intersection in z a vertical direction. you could use this to drop all the groups to a plane...
-
Yes, I ment the graph equation tool.
But the projected distance equation will be very difficult I think.So a script like you suggested would be great! Thankyou so far.
