Splines

[thierry_st_malo]

When we "spline" a surface, it would be very nice to be able to specify:
a/ How many vertices there should be in the splined surface,
b/ If these vertices should be equidistant.

You could try changing spline_steps in the prefs file. I can't check it from here but it might alter the number of vertices inserted.

I have checked the prefs file, and I can indeed change the number of vertices inserted by changing the spline_steps parameters. But:

a/ I can see no obvious relation between spline_steps and the number of vertices inserted.
b/ No vertices are inserted near the curve's extremities; they seem to be left untouched.
c/ There seems to be no way to specify that the vertices should be equidistant along the curves.

For such a thing, a dialog box would be desirable. Can we expect such a feature?

P.S: To make myself clearer (I hope), the attached picture shows what I used to do with my old "VPlot" software.

There may be other options added in the future.

Try using subdivision on lines - it will have a very similar effect.
