Why we like it

Stands out in the Blender extensions library as a small, single-purpose add-on: one operation that sets selected bezier handles to a uniform size, with a gizmo available through Quick Favorites or Menu Search. Version 1.0.1 removed the 3D View tag.

What is Normalize and Resize Curve Handles?

Normalize and Resize Curve Handles is a Blender add-on by TomasCJ that adds a new operation for bezier curves: setting all selected handles to the same size. The operation normalizes and resizes the selected bezier curve handles, giving them a uniform size across the selection.

You install it by dragging and dropping the add-on into Blender, or by downloading it and using Install from Disk. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source and issue tracking live on the developer's GitHub repository. Version 1.0.1 removed the 3D View tag.

Frequently asked questions

Does Normalize and Resize Curve Handles work with Blender 4.2?

Normalize and Resize Curve Handles is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on that release and later versions. The add-on works on selected bezier curve handles, setting them all to the same size. Version 1.0.1 removed the 3D View tag. If you are on a Blender build older than 4.2 LTS, you would need to update Blender before installing. For the current supported range, check the developer's page and the extension listing.

How do I get the resize gizmo to show in Normalize and Resize Curve Handles?

Normalize and Resize Curve Handles shows a visible resize gizmo when you run its operation from Quick Favorites, which opens with Q, or from Menu Search, which opens with F3. Running the operation through either of these is how the gizmo becomes visible, letting you resize the selected bezier curve handles. The add-on's operation sets all selected handles to the same size, and these two entry points are the documented ways to trigger it with the gizmo showing.

How do I install Normalize and Resize Curve Handles in Blender?

Normalize and Resize Curve Handles installs into Blender in two ways: you can drag and drop the add-on into Blender, or you can download it and use Install from Disk. Both methods are listed for adding the extension to your Blender setup. Once installed, it adds a new operation for bezier curves that sets selected handles to the same size. The add-on is small in size and requires no special permissions, so getting it running takes only the standard install steps.
