Add nodes at Thirds
Click to select a segment. Click Thirds in the palette to divide the segment into three equal segments.

Stagger Segment
Click to select the segment. In the palette, click the up and down arrows next to Stagger Segment to change the numbers. Click Apply. For the example above, the number 5 was entered for Stagger Segment. When you click Apply, the segment is split into 4 equal segments (A) and 2 segments half the length of the other segments (B)—resulting in 5 equal segments.
