How to divide complex curve in equal segments?
-
I don't know if I should put this on Plugins section.
Is there any method/plugin to divide a curve in equal segments?
I need to make a chain-like component and I'm planning to use Component Stringer for that. But, as the shape is not a simple arc, but rather a bezier curve combined with lines (and maybe arcs), I need that to be divided in segments of same length.Thank you

Hi dereeei!
No problem
You need Fredo_BezierSpline and RickWilson_Weld.rb but I guess you already have them installed.1)select the entire path: curve+arc+straight lignes and weld them together (a shortcut like Alt+W is very time saving) Then you have a unique curve.
2)select this new curve, context clic and choose "convert in", submenu polyline divider or polyline segmentor. that's it
(if you want a progressive subdivision you can use polyline divider for animation)
or if you want make your own: take a look hereAbout Chris Component Stringer, I have made a bunch of studies around this one
Cheers, simon.

A remark:
Don't forget to copy/save your path before convert it in a polyline. Because depending of your division, its aspect is going to be broken (as a polyline
