Detailed Information

rebuildSpline creates a new spline based on a selected spline.
The only input value rebuildSpline has is the number of CPs for the new spline.
rebuildSpline "walks along" the selected spline and sets points of a new spline in even spaces along the old spline.
This is useful for approximating complex splines with fewer CPs, reconstructing simple splines with a high number of CPs (e.g. to add evenly spaced detail), rebuilding an unevenly spaced spline, etc.

Usage

Select a CP, then right - click it, and select Plug-ins > Wizards > rebuildSpline.
rebuildSpline will automatically rebuild the first Spline, the CP is part of.

Examples



an unevenly built spline rebuilt with 10 CPs.
you can see that the new CPs are evenly spaced on the old spline, but still unevenly spaced on the new one. you can repeat the plrocess with selecting the new spline and rebuilding with 10 CPs again until the CPs are spaced quite evenly on the resulting spline, but be aware that this can alter the geometry quite considerably (the resulting CPs will most likely not be positioned on the first spline).



a simple spline rebuilt with 30 CPs.
