Title: Script Request: Flatten line?
Post by: Suppastar on February 13, 2009, 12:46:59 am

Can anyone make a script that acts like "flatten" command, but works with just lines?

I have a hard time fixing all the lines that were made crooked or wrong, just wondering if anyone could make a script that could do this for me?

You could just merge points...

Sorry, that's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about this...


Selecting the Messed up/Crooked Lines, and using "Flatten Lines", flattens them into image #2.

The same effect as the original "Flatten" does , but that only works on faces, not lines.

I agree, it would be a nice script, though there would have to be two, one vertical and one horizontal (could it be view dependent? or would it have to be axis dependent?)

I was just wondering, if you could use the two points at the end, to make a strait line to align the points and could do it in 3d :)

Thanks everyone


@Neirao

Thanks for that script, but that was for snapping points together, not straightening out the lines.



Basically as I said, we just need a script that acts like the original Flatten command in anim8or, but works with lines and points also. I can't tell you after hours and hours of point modeling, some of the lines are at a slight angle.  Which on some models can ruin the look, if we had script that could make sure the lines are straight it would make modeling a lot easier.



This is script that I think everyone would use, maybe Steve could implement a version of it with command prompt like the original flatten command, or even work it into the original some how?
