This subpanel creates evenly spaced or biased nodes by interpolating between existing nodes in space.

The input nodes are specified as a node list, with each node considered as a pair with the next node in the list.  The specified number of nodes are created on a straight line between each node pair.

The example below shows the effect of adding 5 nodes between the end nodes of a line using different types of bias, with bias intensity 5.0:

Note:Nodes are created in 3D space, and not merely on geometry:

To interpolate nodes along a curved line like the one shown above, use the interpolate on line subpanel instead.
