Adding Vertices along a spline at set intervals

[Dave Buckley]

let's say i have a spline and It only has a start and end vertex.

 

i want to be able to add a series of vertex onto that spline (starting from the start point) but at even distances, let's say i want to add a vertex every 3.5m.

 

the curve isn't straight and i don't know how long it is.

 

if i knew how long the spline was i guess i could just divide the segment with a bit of basic math.

 

but i'm not sure how to do it now i have no length.

 

yes i said 'i have no length', let the penis jokes commence

 

seriously though i do need help with this

 

cheers

I believe you can use the spacing tool to achieve this

[Dave Buckley]

i can use the spacing tool to space objects along the spline, but i don't think i can use it to space vertices along it (it makes you specify an object and a path)

[Stephen Thomas]

Normalize spline modifier does exactly what you're after.

That works perfectly.

we all already knew that just by looking at your avatar picture, hahaha.... sorry, I couldn't resist...

[Dave Buckley]

ha i did wonder how long it would be before someone referred to that
