This section explains how to use the Point Order component, which connects points in sequence with arrows.

On the Grasshopper, it is represented by either of the two above.

Connecting points with arrows in sequence

Using Point Order, you can connect points with arrows in sequence.

Initially, use multiple points as shown in the image above.

Connect multiple point data to Point Order.

In this case, we are connecting multiple point data set in Point.

Then, arrows connecting the points is created as shown in the image above.

Additional component: (1) Point List

To see how the arrows are ordered, let’s use the Point List.

By using the Point List, the order of the points (index number) can be displayed.

Then, the numbers of the point order are displayed like this.

If we look at the arrows, we can see that the arrows are created in order from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 2.

In this way, arrows are created according to the order of the points (index number).

Let’s take a look at an example of using Point Order.

This time, we will divide a curve with points and check the order of the points.

We will use this curve.

Components used: (1) Curve (2) Divide Curve (3) Point Order

Connect Curve, where the curve is set, to the Divide Curve(C).

Input the number of divisions to the Divide Curve(N).

In this case, 10 is entered.

Then, connect the Divide Curve(P) to the Point Order.

Now we know the order in which the curve is divided.

This also allows us to see the starting and ending points of the points.
