Hi there, this is a great script along with all the others you have shared!
One question though:
Is there a way to include a line of code so after the line is created it gets collapsed to an editable spline? this would be helpful so if a computer access a file that used the script can still see the lines... and if you are sending to a render farm you will not have to manually remember to explode convert the lines to editable splines...
