Hi,
I would like to be able to create a very controlled mesh extrusion path along a closed spline. As an example creating a starting area from first control point to 5th, some custom path from 8th to 12th. Until this point everything works fine with the generator. But I can't seem to figure out how to generate something from a selected start point until the beginning of the loop to cover the last segment from the last control point to the first.
To break it down further, I can control the input path in any other range but not from the last point of the spline to the beginning of the spline. Is there an option to do this without using an open spline and just placing the last point to the same position as the first one is.
The issue when trying to do this is that when you would try to do this, the end CP would be earlier in the spline than the start point, Namely start point being any point in the spline, and end point being control point 0. And because the End point is earlier in the spline In this situation, it is not allowed.
I was hoping I'd be able to do this by only setting the Start Control point, but currently what this does a shift for the starting position instead of selecting from the starting position to the end of the closed spline, like it would do on a open spline.
I can do something a bit like what I'm trying to do by Setting the start point close to the end and then manually shortening the length to cover the segment from the end to the beginning, but this is not an ideal solution as It would need to be readjusted whenever the spline changes.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
