Hi Michael,

I've been playing around a while with 2d Boolean and it's quite handy.
I just got an open curve for result at one moment.

I was wondering why didn't you fused "join" and "boolean union" in one command?

Marc

Well, the booleans are more intended to be used when objects need to be intersected and have some portions removed in order to finish the procedure.

Join on the other hand does not attempt to do any cutting, it only tries to glue things together at their existing endpoints (for curves) or edges (for surfaces).

This kind of makes Join in a certain sense more simple and it can possibly be more robust since it is more focused on just that task instead of also adding intersection calculations into the mix.
