Node for Curves to extrude a new point

Video of what I mean by "extrude":

This can be done right now, but the process isn't very straightforward. You have to:

  • capture any attributes you want to keep (tilt, radius, normal)
  • convert the curve into a mesh with Curve to Mesh
  • perform the extrude on the mesh points
  • convert back with Mesh to Curve
  • apply all the attributes back to the mesh

This is the basic version. I didn't even think about curve types, curve handle positions, custom attributes that will be lost in the conversion, the performance hit of doing the mesh conversions back and forth...

A dedicated node is needed for this.

You can convert curve to points and operate on them like duplicates of first/last points, insertion of new points between original or even concatenations between curves. After this you can conver points back to curves with any order.
