Fairing a plotted line.
Say I attempt to plot a smooth curved line, if plotted with vertexes it appears "kinked" at the vertexes if the curve is tight.
What method can be used to "fair" or give a the line a pleasant curve. :?: |

After drawing your basic line - use Surface->spline to add extra vertices in a smooth curve.

Thanks, works perfectly, next question. Is there an easy way to remove all the extra vertexes created by "splining" to clear up the view. I do know I can select each one and delete but a shorter easier why is what I'm after :?:

Umm, well the splining works by inserting extra vertices at spaced intervals to make the smooth shape. You'll need to delete any extra you don't want by hand.

Thanks I can do that, or hide it , in any case I now have a nicely faired line.
