I extracted the center point of a line segment, I need to offset this point from its original position on the line to a 10m distance from the line and should be perpendicular to the line

  • first make a parallel line: OffsetCurveGenerator
  • then find the center: CenterPointReplacer

Or you can use some math:

Offset_from_Line


@nielsgerrits​ added and subsequently removed a reaction mentioning the Labeller. This seems to be a viable alternative, as long as the sign of the Label Offset is set depending on the direction of the line. The resulting coordinates are exactly the same as in my math solution described above. Kudos to @nielsgerrits​!

:) thanks, I had not enough time to work it out properly as you did.
