DC Copy Behavior in a Curved Path
-
Just wondering if a DC can be built in such a way as to clone itself along a curved path (i.e., like trellis rafters, on I'm trying to do right now). Can it be done in theory, or am I shooting for the moon?
Cheers all.

Hi Rico,
Hope the page will let you stay in now

I think you could make a component clone itself along a curve, but you must know the curve beforehand, and you would have to be able to define it mathematically. The positions of the clones would have to be determined by the mathematical definition of the curve.

As your byline says, Chris, "your intelligence will never compensate for my stupidity"....
Having said that, can I have your in response "for dummies?"

What it means is you need to be able to define where you want your DCs to go using a formula like y=x^2, or z=x^2.
the attached file puts the oblongs on the curve y=x^2 (plus a few constants to stretch it nicely.)
