Hello, I'm new to Houdini and had trouble figuring out the correct way to do this. I created an attribute wrangle that takes a line and drapes it in an arc. I was wondering how I could copy my draped line to each line segment of the input_crv? I attached a scene to look at. Thanks!

Try the Sweep SOP. It copies geometry to each point in a curve, with a transform based on the curve. It may require some fiddling to override the transform (possibly even with Nor upattributes on the points) if the default is not the transform you want.
Writing code for fun and profit since... 2005? Wow, I'm getting old.

or have twice as many points on the curve. Use a Group by Range an select only every second point. Use this group to create your curve.

like this ? all I did was I stole your logic from the right and put that into a loop to do the ‘drape’ action for each segment (prim)
