Just a little confused here whether we're talking about Rhino or MoI! I'm assuming SimplifyCrv belongs to Rhino?

Michael, do I understand correctly that (currently) if I want to simplify a curve (not a surface) I must remove points manually?

I am working on a way to incorporate embossed lettering onto a flat surface (subject for another thread perhaps).
I have traced the letters from a background image in MoI (using as few points as possible). The problem is that the Offset command (which does a great job) generates curves with far too many points.

I have been thinning them out manually, but seeing this thread made me think there may be a better way??
