        so just so I'm sure, this aligns vertices to one straight line?

        if so this is a great import clean up tool...

            oh you just made my day...
            I'm getting a lot of faces divided on import bringing my work over from trueSpace - in tS, they are quads and there's no issue.. but in SU, they are tri'd.. the vertices are ever so slightly out of alignment.. tS does not care... SU does... this should then fix those faces ๐Ÿ˜„

                Thanks Thomthom. Very useful. Max has something similar to straighten edges in the edit poly modifier called Make Planar. Adding the Make Colinear also is a nice touch.

                              I am sure this is a stupid question but where does one get this plugin? None of the links here take me anywhere.

                                        ThomThom - the divide face plugin is amazing. i'm redrawing thousands of parcels from the 1960s in a city and this has really just made tedious work about 10 times faster. you're a god!

                                          ๐Ÿ˜„ Glad you liked it. It came about because I realised I was repeatedly drawing guidelines offset from and edge, draw an edge, erase guideline. Wanted to merge this into one operation. I often do this while working on faรงades.
