Love the project but some questions about sweeps

[vinitjogani]

I love how simple the API for this project is -- very intuitive compared to some of the others I have tried. Everything just works as you'd expect. Kudos!

That said, I am looking to do some advanced sweeps. In particular, I want to do a 2-rail sweep where there is an inner and outer wire, and a profile which has to be resized so that it spans the cross section between the wires.

Now I have some custom code that sort of achieves this in cadquery by just computing a bunch of cross sections at different intervals and lofting them through. However, to implement that in Replicad, I need a getPositionAt(...) function on a wire where I can pass in a 0-1 value and use that to sub-divide the wire and get positions at different thresholds. Is there something similar in the API that I can use?

Also, are there any features for bending, shearing, tapering, etc. of models?

I have added a wire.pointAt(index) method to the Wire. It should work once your studio has been updated.

Note that the mapping of the [0, 1] interval on the wire is not necessarily equally spaced (as you can see in the image).

I would be curious to see your 2-rail sweep - and potentially add it as a recipe in the doc.

No, I do not really use these. Do you have some example of a use case (and potentially an API you have seen and like?)
