How to evenly space curve vertices?

Question

I convert one edge of the mesh to a curve. I want to distribute mesh on the curve by using curve modifier but it won't space it evenly because the curve vertices aren't evenly spaced. How to fix that?

I don't know if it exists forcurves, you could convert to mesh, use LoopTools >Space, then convert to curve again? — moonboots, Sep 01 '23 at 07:21

An alternative to try is to use Geometry Nodes to resample the curve:

Keep in mind you won't see the circles (spheres) in the preview, I added another geonodes tree afterwards for that.

You can't apply the geometry nodes modifier on the curve. But what you can do is select the object, ✲ CtrlA, G Visual Geometry to Mesh. Then F3 and search for convert curve.

The preview node tree (you want to disable it before applying the modifiers) used:

Enable the built-in addon called LoopTools via menu Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > LoopTools. You can evenly space your vertices in a mesh by selecting all vertices in Edit Mode and then right click or RMB > LoopTools > Space. If you have a curve, first convert it to mesh and then do the LoopTools > Space and convert back to curve.
