Divide

Source file: divide-a-line.htm

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

1. Use the Select edges tool to select the line segment to be subdivided.

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

3. A panel will open in which you can select either the number of Subdivisions per edge or the Number of result edges. Select the required option and number of subdivisions or edges.

   Note

   As the number is incremented:

   • Subdivisions per edge divides all edges of the selected objects simultaneously.
   • Number of result edges iteratively divides edge segments in half until the specified number of edges is reached.

4. Press OK or Apply to complete the function.

Tip:  Use the Action plane and Snap modes to simplify accurate point selection.
