Create Null as Parent at First Point of a Curve

#1

As the title says. This was handy for the logo I imported from AI. Works on multiple curves.

    		oCurveList.Add(oEn);
    	}
    	
    	for(k=0; k < oCurveList.Count; k++)

    	var oNull = oRoot.AddPrimitive("null");
    	
    	oVB = new VBArray(inPath.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Points.PositionArray);
    	oPntArray = oVB.toArray();
    	
    	for(i=0; i < oPntArray.length; i += 3)
    	{
    		oPntX[i] = oPntArray[i];
    		oPntY[i] = oPntArray[i+1];

    		if(i == 0){
    			 oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosX.Value = oPntX[0];
    			oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosY.Value = oPntY[0];
    			oNull.Kinematics.Local.PosZ.Value = oPntZ[0];
    		}

    	oNull.AddChild(inPath);
