I see the power of Alias’ “edit by curve”.
also to have the “even distribution” option.
to do the same in Rhino, it would mean the follow (but not very practical) workarround:
select the edges in Question
_dupEdge
(_join in some cases)
_rebuild (to the degree, and CV-count = degree+1)
this will be your base-curve
edit a copy of the base curve to the desired shape.
this will be your target curve
now use
_flow (copy = no, preserve structure = yes, stretch = yes)
to rearrange the vertices / edges.
the big pity about above workflow: _flow is claimed to support history - but does not do it for a subD-Vertex selection. (and also not for nurbs-cvs) - both wold be very powerful.
and the second pity: the above workflow shows, that the general functionality is there to do this nice editing…
align to curve is not very satisfying in this situaiton - the vertices will be set to the shortest distance on the target curve and will loose their distribution / spacing
see the follow simple example
left - flow, workflow as described above. (green - base, blue - target)
right - align
