Hello,

I have a NURBS curve and I want to grab the before and after CVs depending on the provided curve u value. Anyone got any ideas how I could do this?

Thanks

Are you looking for a python script/tool? Or a sop network that places whichever two points in a group?

Sorry probably should have clarified. A python script preferably. Need it as part of a viewer state for creating curves and having the option of inserting new CVS along the curve.

maybe an overkill to dig through, but you can probably find what you are looking for in the Curve viewer state since it also supports adding new CVs to NURBS curves

I'm not sure how the curve sop does things, but to insert at a particular u position and have the CV's update you might be able to use the carve sop verb. Something like 

carve_verb = hou.sopNodeTypeCategory().nodeVerb("carve")
carve_verb.setParms({'domainu1': u_value, 'keepout': 1})
carve_verb.execute(geometry, [input_geometry])

EDIT: refine verb is probably a better choice to add a break point.
