parametric modelling via script
See picture as an example.
This is a box with a louvered top.
Each louver is an instance of a typical louver.
The typical louver is generated as an extrusion of a spline.
The spline is controlled by 8 key point.
The question is:
is it possible to drive the key points of the spline from a set of data contained in a text file?
Assuming that the spline has 8 key point, I would need a file containing 24 values.
I would need to access such a text file (tab delimitation would be great) and import an array to use for the displacement of each point.
Is anybody out there with an example or something to start with.
Perhaps even a very schematic idea.
I just purchased Cheetah and I am really looking forward to learn.
