Placing objects at a defined interval along a 3D polyline

Hi all

I'm looking for a way to divide a line (a 3D polyline in particular) by a certain length, accepting that a variable remainder will be left over at some point. For example, I have a 3D polyline that is 7467mm long, and I want to fit as many 750mm lengths in as possible (9 x 750 = 6750) leaving a 717mm remainder at one end.

Does that make sense?

Maybe another way to put it would be that I want to place objects at 750mm intervals along a very irregularly shaped 3D polyline. Any ideas?

The divide command allows me to divide the object into equal lengths, but that isn't what I'm after.

Any help would be much appreciated.

MEASURE command, maybe?

Measure should work and then to insert your objects, first make it a block, then use measure on your pline, select when promted to use a block, enter the blocks name, enter if you want it rotared along line or not, give to length of spacings and there you have it.

Hope this helps.

It's funny how you can use a program for 7 years and miss out on basic commands like that

Thanks guys. I blame my ****ty university.

Maybe you chose the wrong university - or were out sick that day, or didn't read the assigned reading...

Next time turn off the iPod and remove the earbuds.
