      Yea - it's why I was looking for a different algorithm as I found that Simplify didn't preserve the overall shape as well.

      From your screenshot it looks as though you have a lot of criss-crossing curves. That leads to problems with any curve simplification algorithms.

      In my DP implementation I pre-process the selection to locate curve segments. A curve segment is only valid if it doesn't have faces connected or forks. Anything that doesn't fit the requirements is silently ignored.

        Indeed, i realise the crossing is a bit of a problem. However, i separated them all in groups (which is basically double clic and group, being a fairly easy task) so i guess that wouldn't get much in the way.

          hm... I guess it could be made into an option to consider a curve segment to be between forks...

          Adding to Experiment list.

                Hi Thomtom,
                First, thanks for your hours spent making all these plugins. its a wonder google dont take some onboard for future su releases.
                I not very technically inclined when it comes to 3d terminology, just want to ask about importing terrain from google earth (get current view ), If I get a few views all slightly overlapping,then explode and toggle terrain, I get holes and overlaps and mess.
                Which one of your scripts is best to clean this up? Edge tools or cleanup rb?
                Also in su 8 get current view is no longer in the google toolbar?

                      Damn how could I miss it? Excellent! With this set of tools you came very close to the one of the biggest hemorrhoids in my workflow- the acad generated arcs\polylines\curves. They typically overlap, cut each other, have different segment length and stray ends etc. If only you could make something in this direction πŸ˜‰

                        Overlapping curves that intersect each other is troublesome. It's something that should be corrected in Autocad before importing as it'd be difficult to separate them afterwars. ("Garbage in garbage out")
                        As for the curve segments - Fredo's Bezier Curve tool let you convert curves into parametric curves you can adjust - can be used to interpolate I think. Maybe his plugin could be automated to process a set of curves?

                          Awesome toolset, would be nice if divide faces preserved the edges soft, smooth and hidden properties though.

                          thanks thomthom

                            Good idea. I have an update coming up very shortly. Though it won't make it for that, but I'll be on my todo list. πŸ‘

                                            Thanks for reporting that. I was a bit quick to release the last fix so I forgot to test it before shipping. 😳
