[rhino python] precision problem in using AddSrfContourCrvs

[noclew]

Hi,

I am working on the script, which generates orthogonal grids based on a given surface.
The script simply finds the bounding box points of the surface, generates base grid points from them and makes contouring lines based on the base grid points with world ZX or YZ plane.



My problem here is that the results of the script are unpredictable because the script frequently misses the first or the last contouring lines. It seems that the position or domain ranges of the given surface matters.

How can I make sure that the script always includes both ends using AddSrfContourCrvs?

In advance, thank for your help!

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

def contourPointsPlane(srf, pts, plane=rs.WorldYZPlane()):

"returns the list of the crvs list, divided by grid points"
    listCrvs = list()
    for i in range(0, len(pts)):
        tempPlane = rs.MovePlane(plane, pts[i])

        tempCrvs = [rs.AddSrfContourCrvs( srf, tempPlane)]

        listCrvs.extend ( tempCrvs )

    return  listCrvs 

def getIntervalPts(startPt, endPt, num):

"returns the list of dividing points"
    vecDir = rs.VectorUnitize(rs.VectorCreate( endPt ,startPt ) )

    dblDist = rs.Distance(endPt, startPt)

    distance = dblDist/num

    maxIndex = dblDist / distance

vecDir = rs.VectorScale(vecDir, distance )
    ptList = [startPt] #assign the start point to the first 

    for i in range( 1, int(maxIndex)):

        ptList.append( rs.PointAdd( ptList[i-1], vecDir ) )

    ptList.append(endPt) #assign the end point to the last 

return ptList

srf = rs.GetObject("select the surface")

    ptsX = getIntervalPts(bBox[0], bBox[1], 10) 

    ptsY = getIntervalPts(bBox[0], bBox[3], 10) 

    crvTopXListList = (contourPointsPlane( srf, ptsX, rs.WorldYZPlane() ) )

    crvTopYListList = (contourPointsPlane( srf, ptsY, rs.WorldZXPlane()) )
