Align control points

Yep, sorry - should work everywhere - hang on a bit…

@Vladimir_Aleksic - fixed… just me being a dummy. Oh wait, that part is not fixed.

@Vladimir_Aleksic - if you feel adventurous, you can have a try at this Python:

PlanarizeSurfacePoints.py (10.0 KB)

The easiest way to run this is with

! _-RunPythonScript "Full path the py file inside double-quotes"

This is is a little fancier - the workflow is still under construction but

  • Select a surface. If points are not on, they are turned on and a red and green curve is drawn over two of the edges indicating U and V.

  • Pick a control point and the row in the direction (U or V) is planaraized.

  • There are several plane styles - probably the View one is the ‘coolest’ because you can change the view
    slightly and try again to fine tune.

  • You can change surfaces on the fly (command line option) so if you are working with multiple surfaces trying to get things trued up, this can be handy.

Note, one thing this thing does is it slides the points on the control polygon to meet the plane, it does not slam them as a projection/ by closest points - so for example, if I did it right, planarizing a second row of points from the edge will not change the tangent direction the row already has.
