Recently I had to split many curves in a model, and found it tedious and boring. So I wrote a quick script to speed up the process.
If anyone interested, I can polish the plugin and release a tool which would look like the native "divide" option (that works only on edges and arcs). It will work for open or closed curves (polylines) and polygons. -
Of course i am interested!
I wasn't even aware it was missing from the standard tools.
But then, nobody will know which tool they miss until they need it. -
Fredo has some polylines dividers inside Bezier curves but not the same concept!
-
I'd like to be able to select a bunch of connected lines and divide them into equal parts, with the new Clothworks plugin this will be very useful for ropes and wires. So, yeah, this gets my vote.
-
yeah it will be handy...

Would be nice Something like interactive http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=66492

@srx:
Yes the tool will be interactive exactly like the "divide" option of the context menu, the red points are moving along the curve when you hover the curve with the cursor. -
Please Didier
-
That would be awesome. And as always, thank you for all you do.

There are some dilemmas:
Will it build a new curve with straight segments between new vertices or it'd just split existing curve keeping existing segmentation? Ideally it'd be nice to give 2 options.
How it'd treat 'important ' say 90 degr. corners? -

We all know to explode. I asked something different. Imagine L-shaped (2 segment, 3 vertices ) curve. What methodics will be choosen to divide it to 3?
-
in this case you'll have 3 possible results (depending on the option you select): 4 lines, 3 curves, or a single curve with 5 vertices.
-
Or single 3-segment curve with 4 vertices (original middle vertices will go away)??
