Divide a Line

Use Divide to divide an edge into a number of smaller, equal-length segments.
A line can be composed of one or more edges. Each edge will be evenly subdivided by the nominated value.

  1. Select the line segment (with line selector) to be subdivided.

  2. On the Edit ribbon tab navigate to the Line group and select Divide.

  3. A panel will open allowing you to select the number of subdivisions per edge.

  4. Press OK or Apply to complete the function.

Note:  To assist in the task, you can use the Action plane as well as the Snap modes to accurately select points.

Examples:

    A line (composed of only 1 edge) divided into 7 equal sections (by green crosses).

     

    A line (composed of 5 edges) divided into 7 equal sections. Note each edge is subdivided into 7 equal sections.
