Better Spline Tools

Better Spline Tools

Would be nice to have AutoCAD/Revit style spline editing. Some examples:

 

1. Spline offset that creates a new spline (unconnected) from the selected spline. (similar to the way AutoCad offsets)

2. Multiple spline offset - set the distance and number of copies.

3. When a spline is open and/or self-intersecting, provide a visual cue as to where it is unconnected and/or crossing itself. (I wrote a script to kind of accomplish this, but it would be good to have natively, like the magenta boxes in Revit)

4. Spline offset preview. (Sometimes I need to offset a spline with the slider to get an idea of how far I need it to offset and then type in the actual value I want. Currently, I use the slider do get an idea of the distance, undo, and then type in the exact value I need.)

5. The ability to detect and remove double/overlapping segments.

6. Built-in ability to flatten splines.

 

...More ideas for this??

For all the reasons, all these ideas should be added by a moderator to the Original post and hsould be voted and reviewed as a single idea. The inability to edit your idea is so frustrating.

For the procedural part only, regarding the handling of splines through modifiers, I've made a separate idea. Pls check it out and  vote there !
