Co-linear Edges Select any sets of connected edges. (Other entities and edges that form loops are ignored.) For each set, the points between the first and last point will be made co-linear to the first and last point. You can also choose to restrict the adjustments of the points to a given direction.

Curve Simplification "Curve" does here not mean a Curve entity. You don't have to weld anything together. It's just a series of connected edges selected. You can select multiple curves to run this command on. Good for after importing CAD plans of contours.
When you are prompted for an epsilon value it refers to the distance b in the above illustration. It's max distance any point is allowed to deviate from the simplified polyline.
The curves must not connect to anything else and not fork. The resulting simplified curve is created as a Curve entity.
Note: The plugin does not check for forking curves. If you see unexpected behaviour - check that your selected curves doesn't fork.
This looks very useful, thanks Thom. I remember cases when I had to move vertices one by one manually to end up with something this plugin is capable of.
oh you just made my day... I'm getting a lot of faces divided on import bringing my work over from trueSpace - in tS, they are quads and there's no issue.. but in SU, they are tri'd.. the vertices are ever so slightly out of alignment.. tS does not care... SU does... this should then fix those faces
Thanks Thomthom. Very useful. Max has something similar to straighten edges in the edit poly modifier called Make Planar. Adding the Make Colinear also is a nice touch.

You are incredibly productive and innovative. One more time, this one promise to be strongly useful (I'm reminding the number of times this tools was missing to me)..

Thanks for your kind words.

ThomThom - the divide face plugin is amazing. i'm redrawing thousands of parcels from the 1960s in a city and this has really just made tedious work about 10 times faster. you're a god!
Glad you liked it. It came about because I realised I was repeatedly drawing guidelines offset from and edge, draw an edge, erase guideline. Wanted to merge this into one operation. I often do this while working on façades.
No, it's not so simple Try with the object linked above! You must select by hand all different aeras and make different Reverse before Orient Easy with this object but for a more complex, it's a mess!

and outside of work 
oh no .....
