      Hi!
      I love BezierSpline - thanks! - but is there any plugin that can make a "C" curve out of a vertical "A" and a horisontal "B"(see attached pic)?

        You can try Curviloft Loft By Spline, just keeping the contours

          Thanks for suggesting.
          Tried it, but since I wanted to create the "C" curve, I tried w/o it, which didn't give the desired result.
          What I want is to NOT have to create two groups/components, and run th command "Intersect faces" to create a 3rd "C" contour.
          Is that possible?

              Hi! Is there any chance to override the maximum segments (300s) for each bezier curve made?

                I am not sure that curves should have too many segments , as a general statement.
                But, I will increase it to 600 in a next release.

                In the meantime, you can edit the file bezierspline_main.rb, line #62 and set the value you wish.

                  Great! I'm doing some experiments with SU and 3D printing, that's why.
                  I agree that many segments slows down at least the next phase with Curviloft.
                  Maybe have a warning at a specific amount of segments with "don't show this message again" option.

                    Select the 300s curve, right-click/Explode, right-click/Convert to Catmull spline = 1800s.

                        That's not the same curve, but visually, with hundreds of points, they may look the same!

                                In BezierSpline, you have several tools to have the curve go thorugh the control points: Cubic BSpline, Catmull, FSpline.

                                  I tried these tools but I feel that not what I needed.
                                  The begin and the end of the curves look too flat.
                                  F Spline is better but still flat.

                                  I included an image here :

                                  https://i.imgur.com/t65T7K7.png

                                  The curve which generated by the B Spline through points look smoother, but that plugin is hard to use and lack of editing tools.
                                  So I hope you can add that to yours.

                                    Fredo doesn't need to add editing tools to this extension. You can already edit the curves created with it.

                                      No, I mean that I hope he can add that type of curve to his plugin !!

                                        I have some trouble when editing the curves.

                                        I drew a curve in Side view

                                        https://i.imgur.com/rTEsVsG.png

                                        The I switch to Top view to edit control points

                                        https://i.imgur.com/It75S7J.png

                                        But when I back to Side view, the curve changed a lot !!

                                        https://i.imgur.com/ggsfQJM.png

                                        So, how can I move the control points along a specified axis (X, Y, Z)?

                                        Thanks.

                                          If you want to keep the curve in 2D, it's best if you start out by drawing it on a large rectangle. Or, you can set the camera to Parallel Projection and selected the appropriate standard view befor editing the curve. I like the large face option myself.

                                            Or use the plugin WorkPlane.
