aligning groups of verts on edit spline?

[stayinwonderland]

I like the align verts to x, y, z function in edit poly and I'm always finding that I need that on edit spline. Is there such a thing?

you can select them and use the scale tool to put them in a line. I don't think there is a way to do it otherwise although it would be handy.

Do you mean something like Straighten Edge? http://veda3d.com/straighten-edge/

That looks pretty handy, never seen it before. Good find!

Cant remember where I found it, but this flattens splines

 

(
on isEnabled return
(
 selection.count == 1 and \
 (classof selection[1] == SplineShape or\
 classof selection[1] == Line) \
 and selection[1].modifiers.count == 0
)
on execute do
(
 new_z = $.pos.z
 for s = 1 to (numSplines $) do
 (
   for k = 1 to (numKnots $ s) do
   (
     knt = getKnotPoint $ s k
     in_vec = getInVec $ s k
     out_vec = getOutVec $ s k
     knt.z = in_vec.z = out_vec.z = new_z
     setInVec $ s k in_vec
     setOutVec $ s k out_vec
     setKnotPoint $ s k knt
   )--end k loop
 )--end s loop
 updateshape $
)--end execute
)--end script 

 

I guess it might be possible to edit the script to do what you want?
