Creation method

There are two options for creating a Curve Side node.

  • The first way to create a Curve Side node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • left , right , crv , side
  • The second way is to select a Curve Side node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Curve Analysis > Curve Side

Steps

  • Create a Curve Side node.
  • Connect the curve to the "Curve" input port.
  • Connect the point to the "Pnt" input port.
  • Connect the optional plane to measure into the "Pln" input port.

Upon connecting the necessary inputs, the "Curve Side" node will provide an output indicating on which side of the curve the designated point was located. A value of -1 denotes that the point is situated on the left of the curve, a value of 0 indicates that the point coincides with the curve, and a value of 1 signifies that the point is on the right of the curve. Additionally, the second and third output ports return Boolean values, respectively indicating whether the point is to the left or right of the curve.
