00Ghz Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi, We need an option to subdivide all paths like add points in AI in object menu. Basically you get a point in the middle for a line at subdiv 1, then 2 points distributed between the start and end point of the line at subdiv 2 and so on. This is useful for adding more points distributed at equal distances and for making more advanced shapes.

Staff MattP Posted March 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 24, 2015 It's extremely easy to do, obviously... but where would the controls for it be? :) paolo.limoncelli and ronnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Matt, here are some ideas: 1. How about an Object or Path main menu item? I'm sure as AD matures we will need this kind of menu item, to house advanced options... 2. A sub-menu item under the Layer menu? This could be a temporary, v1.0 only until more Path / Object functions get fleshed out and get their own menu item, as above... 3. Or it could be a control handle on the object/path itself, like the rotate or corner handles, and pushing or pulling on it could add (subdivide geometry) or remove (simplify geometry) nodes... 4. Or it could be the reverse or modifier-induced functionality of the nifty Simplify Brush you were going to build, the one we discussed in the other post about simplifying vector Brush strokes ;) I think a combination of a menu item and an Node Brush tool with Add/Remove mode toggle would be ideal. In fact, often times I want to add or simplify geometry in certain parts of the object, and in AI, I have to add nodes manually (sucks for large areas) or apply it to the entire object, needlessly complexifying — see what I did there, definitely an American localization ;) — the artwork. It's extremely easy to do, obviously... but where would the controls for it be? :) MattP 1 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Sonoma 14.4.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakerlund Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Something like this would be nice http://screencast.com/t/pD4IEBim Gear maker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the "Action" array should be consistent I think. The white dog, making tools for artists, illustrators and doodlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00Ghz Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Maybe make a subdivide tool? And you can interactively adjust subdivision levels on specific lines or the whole object. Matt what are the chances of making something like this?

ottobyte Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Like the idea of a subdivide tool! Often I need this with circles. AD 1.4.1 | AP 1.4.1 | ottobyte.com | @ottobyte | MacPro 8x2.8, 8gb, OSX 10.11.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Ghz Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Any updates on this? What happened also to making the eyedropper tool a normal tool like in AI or PS?
