Why we like it

Adjust Segments earns its place in the superhive library for a focused modeling task: resampling the segment count of lines and quad surfaces straight from Blender's right-click menu.

What is Adjust Segments?

Adjust Segments is a Blender add-on for changing the segment count of polylines and quad surfaces during modeling. You select the line or quad surface you want to work on, right-click, and choose "adjust segments" to resample it.

The operator exposes a few parameters. Segments sets the segment count of the resampled line or surface, while Uniform controls whether the resulting vertices are spaced evenly. A Use Increment option changes the Segments value from a direct count into an increment applied to the existing segment count, so the value is added to the current count rather than setting an absolute number.

As of version 0.3, the two earlier operators are combined into one that detects the context automatically, keeping the right-click menu tidy. The add-on runs across a broad range of Blender releases, from 2.83 through the 3.x series up to 4.0, and is distributed under the GPL license. A demo video is available.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Adjust Segments support?

Adjust Segments supports a wide range of Blender releases, including 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0, along with the 2.9x series down to 2.93, 2.92, 2.91 and 2.9, and 2.83. That range runs from the 2.83 release through the 3.x series up to 4.0, covering both older and current versions. If you run a version outside that list, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before installing.

How do I use Adjust Segments in Blender?

Adjust Segments works from Blender's right-click menu. Select the polyline or quad surface you want to change, right-click, and choose "adjust segments". From there you set the Segments value for the resampled line or surface, and the add-on detects the context automatically, so a single operator handles both lines and quad surfaces. The Uniform option decides whether the vertices are spaced evenly, giving you control over how the resampled geometry is distributed across the selection.

What does the Use Increment option in Adjust Segments do?

Adjust Segments includes a Use Increment option that changes how the Segments parameter behaves. When it is unchecked, Segments sets the resampled count directly. When it is checked, the Segments value becomes the increment applied to the current segment count instead of a fixed target. This applies the value as an increment to what the line or surface already has, rather than typing an absolute number each time. The choice between a direct count and an increment was added in version 0.2.

Is Adjust Segments free, and how is it licensed?

Adjust Segments is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for the most current terms it's best to check the developer's page directly before downloading. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license, which is standard for Blender add-ons. If you have questions about usage terms, the developer Haoyan Shi can be reached through the store page listed for the plugin.
