I am working on a task in which I have to project nodes (X and Y coordinates of nodes) of a point cloud to the circumference located exactly on the centre of gravity of the mesh (nodal Geometry). My question is how can I create a circumference on the geometry and divide it into 36 different parts and then how can I project the nodes on it.
What I have done? : I have found the centroid (Centre of Gravity) of the geometry. I I moved the geometry with its centroid and placed it on the reference point (0, 0). Now I have the same geometry, but with different coordinates which I have shown here below.
node_number X_coordinate Y_coordinate
0 -1.0 -2.0
1 -1.0 -1.0
2 -1.0 0.0
3 -1.0 1.0
4 -2.0 1.0
5 -2.0 2.0
6 -1.0 2.0
7 0.0 2.0
8 1.0 2.0
9 2.0 2.0
10 2.0 1.0
11 1.0 1.0
12 0.0 1.0
13 0.0 0.0
14 0.0 -1.0
15 0.0 -2.0
I would like to project the nodes (coordinates shown above) onto the circumference which is divided into 36 pixels (parts). I have shown an example of that below in the picture.
For your refence: My goal is to make a vector or an array in python after flattening the circumference which will be having various values of nodes projected. Therefore my first goal is to draw a circumference on the geometry, divide it into 36 equal parts. Then projecting nodes to that circumference.
