The points of division

Segments

S

Cartesian

List

Tangent

T

Vector

List

The tangents of the points

How to:

  1. Feed in a feature

  2. Set the distance

    You can type a number in the box

    OR feed in a number result from another node

  3. Connect the results - segments or points - to a write features node, or another node to continue processing

  4. Use the tangent node to rotate items placed on the points (such as blocks, group instances, or GLTFs). Typically items placed on points have a Rotation property that the tangent can work with.
