I want to number/renumber elements along a line. Each element finds the shortest distance to the spline (perpendicular). This point on the line is the sorting order. Is there a function in Dynamo for this? I have made such this program in Grasshopper and there the function was called “Curve Closes…

Hi Rune, i don’t know if this is optimal but it seems to work. you still need to compare the ordered points to the not ordered points to get a keylist so you can sort the “points near curve” in the right order [curve closest to]

Here’s how you could sort your elements by the normalized curve parameters of the closest points: [SortByProximityToCurve]

Andreas, Out of curiosity. How would you sort those lists without the clockwork node with “stock” dynamo nodes?

Martin, you would have to create a custom node that acts as the key projector for the built-in SortByKey node. In this example, the custom node would have to consist of three nodes (encircled with the red line): [CustomKeyProjector]

Is there a way to get better pictures of these? I cant see anything on these and if I download them. the resolution makes it impossible to read. thanks.
