   Introduction

This script changes a single spline in layer 1 to a chain of 2-point polys for use as a guide in Sasquatch.

   Controls

None.

   Installation

Extract the files into your \Plugins\Model\Lscripts folder. Add spline2guide.ls in the usual fashion for plug-ins (L[6] permits LScripts to be loaded just like any plug-in).

   Usage

Put the spline to be converted into layer 1 and leave layer 2 empty. Run spline2guide. The FIRST point of the spline is used to create a single-point-poly which is given the surface "base." The rest of the guide is given the surface "hair."

   Acknowledgement

The idea for this script is from a procedure posted to the WorleyLabs List by Bill Boyce. Thanks, Bill!
