Hello everybody,
is it possible to get access to intermediate points of splines? Id like to round corners.
Thanks and greetings

-Niklasfirst of all, i am not sure how intermediate points is meant to be red, i am reading
it as interpolation subpoints/steps.i am also not sure if i am missing here something, but GetSplinePoint does not give
you access to the spline interpolation points, but just translates an 0-1 based offset
along the spline into an vector at that point in object coordinates. To my knowledge
there is no (python) method which returns a splines interpolation subpoints.For any sort of chamfering you will have to add support points to the spline object,
just like you would do it in the editor too. You could do this either by executing a
SMC Chamfer command on a programmatically created BaseSelect of your SplineObject
or by adding manually points to your PointObject (the class both polygon and spline
objects are being derived from). -

Hi Ferdinand,
I understood "intermediate points" as "any points of the spline that are not necessarily anchor
points", like the ones you can find by using GetPoint().-N

If you want to get your hands on the spline points that result from the interpolation, you have to convert the spline using the modeling command MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT. This will give you a linear spline that contains all the interpolated points.

Hello you three,
Im back. Thanks for replies and sorry for vague wording.
Indeed I meant access to interpolation subpoints. So the question is how to create an own interpolation. Id like to write a plugin for rounding corners of linear splines. I know how to calcuate the right positions, but I have no idea how to draw the Spline along these right positions.Thank and greetings

Just to be clear: You want to calculate the interpolation on your own?
If so, google for bezier, b-spline or cubic spline interpolation. You may also
want to look at the pycurves module.-Niklas

to get hold of the spline interpolation use CSTO as Jack suggested, which will convert the
interpolation points into control points. but accessing the interpolation points does not make
any sense for chamfering a spline. simply use the methods described above to add control
points.
