@dalelear I will try to get you some concrete examples this week. The use case to separate equalize from smoothing is targets for FlowSrf.
When mapping from a planar base to a target with inconsistent CV/knot spacing, I’ll manually create a cleaner surface over a desired area. I’m trying to get a ‘pretty polygon’ domain space while holding as much tolerance as I can. Smoothing is very much unwanted.
Creating good flow targets is a high-priority, daily pain point for a lot of us.
