Ruby for transfering edges to curves needed...
-
hello,
has anybody a skp-ruby-script, which is able to smooth a polyline (circle / ellipse of edges) inserting more edges by interpolation while keeping the geometric form?
i have sections threw a cylinder ( = ellipses of certain amount of edges, no radius), which i would like to make smoother for further boolean operations.
thank you a lot.

Stan, I have a "Spline" plugin on my blog. It does a spline fit interpolation through the end points of selected edges and creates a curve.

I have a plugin in preparation that do this sort of things (will be part of Curvizard).
Could you post or PM me your model so that I check on a real case.

hi fredo,
i was rather busy in last weeks.well, my situation is the following:
i made a quick sketch and forgot to high up the amount of edges in the circles, before i started to twist them.
so after that i have my "sculpture" with lots of "edged" curves in 3d, nearly impossible to "recreate" from scratch again.
the idea was, that a polygon of more edges in 3d is analyzed and more edge-point are inserted to get a smoother curve in 3d AND eventually a polygon correction, if connected to this curve (the curve is part of a 3d object),
but inserting points not only by dividing the lines (such rubies are on the market) , but interpolationg the curve.
i will extract an example and send it to you tonight (with a sketch of this idea).
thank you so far!

a 2d elipse or circle like you said int he first post is a VERY different beast than a 3d shape. Please try to not leave out important details like that
There are scripts that will subdivide 3d shapes like artisan or subdivideandsmooth. You could try those.
