multi plane fs with composite curves?

hey @lougallo
i use the multi plane fs all the time! it's great! one thing i'd wish i could do, is selecting a composite curve. quite often i need to slice an object that does not have one continuous spline/edge...
or does have someone an alternative to slice something like a rail efficiently to equal pieces? (for this example i made a sketch and used equally long guides, made "line-angle" planes and then split them one after another...not very elegant, fast, parametric or precise:)
thanks for any tips or ideas!

The way to go about this is to convert multiple edges to a PATH and then using evPathTangentLines to solve for evenly spaced tangent lines along the path. You can then use those lines to create evenly spaced planes along the path.
Hopefully this helps!
