Hi all

How to fix the the vertex as a perfect square after O grid blocking.
Thank you

Hi,

you could try creating points on the circle's arcs the following way.

# use create point on curve to get a point at 50% length of each arc. (to have 4 corner points of the square)
# copy and rotate the 4 points on the circle by 45 degree around the axis of the cylinder

Then, associate the outer vertices to the points.

For the o-grid points, i would first try to realign the o-grid vertices with the boundary vertices and reset the o-grid thickness.
If the result is dissatisfying, i would create a local coordinate system and move the vertices by coordinates.

With regards,
Sebastian.

Hi

If the geometry is not along the axis how to rotate the point on the curve

Thank you
