ICE Curve CreationAuthor: Pedro Cabrera
Pedro Cabrera a.k.a. Pedrito shares this plugin that allows dynamic creation of curve objects using ICE. Unlike point cloud and polygon mesh creation, curve creation isn't supported natively by ICE. The author works around this by using a vbs scripted operator that reads data written by an ICE tree further down the operator stack.

From here: [..] it allows linear and cubic curves, open and closed, and also subcurves, so »create curves from strands« for example is as easy as plug a »build array from set« of the strandpositions, and a »build array from set« of the strand count [..] These compounds are also provided: PC_Archimedean Spirals: different types of spirals PC_Curve By Nulls: uses a group of transforms to create a curve PC_Loxodrome: creates a loxodrome spiral with parameters PC_Spiral Points: very basic Spiral

Thanx alot @Pedrito will test soon! :D

Edit ** Oh i see there are examples as PC_ compounds i was looking for a .scn file in the rar xD

thx a bounch having fun alrdy :)

sorry, the scene is inside de .addon, so it should be where you have installed it, at first I try to upload directly the .addon but the forum says I was not allowed for sequrity reasons, thats why I create a rar , and also those compounds yes :)
Lets see if this tool helps you , hoping see what all these is about and where do you get! :-bd

Is it like Grasshopper in Rhino?

But what are you looking for? Or what are you trying to do ?
I need one-click solution for my modeling. Like select curves and set radius to create the polymesh.
It's needed to create wires cables and other mechanical stuff.

I don't use ICE. It looks too complicated for me
"ICE Curve Creation" uses ice ... ;-)

No, because Grasshopper or Rhino haven't been baught and killed.

So you're probably better-off trying one of those.
