Vertex Tools or Artisan or Something else?

[valerostudio]

I have a road with a curb that was imported from Revit. I would love to have the road edge and curb vertices appear smoother, like what you would get from the flatten tool in Vertex Tools, but I want to keep the vertical distance of the curb. I have tried to accomplish this with Artisan2 but it also struggles with this. Any ideas? Here is a screenshot.

Did you try Edge Tools?

It has a Straighten Co-Linear tool...

@Rich-O-Brien
So much triangles
Btw, Z colinear could work better if the road is not supposed to be perfectly straight in XY.

@valerostudio I'm refining a tool that can do this interactively (along with many other freeform modeling features). It also integrates very well with Artisan2 and VertexTools/SubD. Let me know if you're interested in beta-testing.

@panixia very much interested! Site modeling is always such a pain!!!

the most practical way with the nicest results is to rebuild it with PB. the path is in the middle of the road, the profile is a horizontal line (the length is longer than your road width+sidewalks). then project sidewalks and make curbs with PB.

@valerostudio I've sent you the rbz files in a private message
@rv1974 I've also sent the same stuff to you, because as far as I can remember, you are also a 3dsMax user and most of my tools are "porting" of Max features still missing in the current Sketchup quads/subdivision workflow. So maybe you can have some fun with that.
