Smooth Curve

kwalkerman

I would like to be able to convert a curve into a similar curve where each line segment is a known length. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Thanks,

are you talking about an arc? or some other form of curve?

depending on the situation, there are a couple of approaches.. with an arc, i'd just use sketchup's divide function.. with other curves, i'd use fredo's bezier tools..

can you upload a .skp with a sample line that you'd like to work with and explain how you'd like to modify it?

[edit] -- for instance, is this what you're trying to accomplish?

Absolutely!!! I would like to be able to start with either an ArcCurve, or just a curve.

I have Fredo's bezier curve plugin installed, but I don't know how I would use it in this instance. Can you walk me through the steps a bit more?

Thanks so much,

EDIT: Oh, wait, the polyline divider is what does it. I think I can take it from here. Thanks for the clue.
