Locating spline corners

- [Narrator] In the last video, we did some work towards our step of drawing out spline profiles in our algorithm. In this video, we'll continue with that step and work towards finding the corners of the spline profiles. In Rhino, we've got a blank Rhino file open and I've made that using the small objects centimeters template. In Grasshopper, I have spline width end.gh open. We are just continuing from where we left off in the last video. What I like to do is, take these lines that are being offset from our corner lines on the voronoi cell pattern. Sample out a couple of points from each one. Use those to frame out the little rectangles that we will be drawing for the spline profiles. Let's jump into Grasshopper, and a great component for this is the evaluate length component. This takes in a curve and gives us specific points along that curve at given length. So in turns of inputs, this components taking in a curve or a set of curves to evaluate a length to give us the point at, as…
