Full Version: Displaying / Matching ends of curves

So here reduced to 2 curves.

There is a tiny gap between them.

How do I achieve that the grey one will share an overlapping point with
the red one ? I have no point to pull, so I move the 2 nearby points
with the nudge commands visually till I guess the gap is gone.

Is there a way to let MOI tell me - yes the gap is less than 0,000001 now ?

Hi Tom, can you please post the 3DM file too?

>>@ Tom
Seems you are confused by "Control Points" and Points who are possibly on a curve!<<

Its difficult ro differentiate, I agree !

When I say "curves with a common point" I don´t mean a literal curve point but the
same coordinate.

I hope the files and the screenshots can clarify my topic

Hi Tom, so one way to do it would be to put in a dividing line down the middle of the gray curve, use Edit > Separate on the gray curve and then use Edit > Trim on the lower part of it to split it into 2 pieces:



You can then join the pieces together and there will now be a point that's directly on the grey curve which you can place on the red one, you'd grab that point and the inner 2 so that they all move together and keep the pieces smooth with each other:

Sorry no there's nothing set up in MoI to monitor curves for proximity after nudging like that.

Ok very good, so this confirms that there is always a REAL point needed for exact placement of a curve
onto another one.

Muchissimas gracias again Michael - the MatchingScript is a fantastic time saver !!
