hi i ve here 3 curves

curve C1 is a outline of a surface
curve C2 is a drawn curve
curve c3 is a drawn curve

1.i tried to join c1 and c2. joining is succesfull, but one problem stays. the point between c1 and c2 where the curves are melted wont be smoothed. why?

2. i tried to extend c1 to c3. but it doesnt work. why?

is there something special about c1?


kind regards

nukkle

That's actually intentional that Join does not alter the shape of objects.

Otherwise it would not be possible for example to join 4 lines into a closed rectangle.

You can put a fillet in between 2 curve segments to smooth them out, or after you have joined segments into a combined curve, you can turn on control points and delete the control point where they touch to fuse 2 segments together into a single smooth segment, that is another way to smooth things out.

It's because the tangent extension of c1 does not intersect the c3 line, it shoots off to the side of it. Here I have drawn a line from the end of c1 with "Straight snap" enabled so I could snap to the end tangent of c1, so you can see this more clearly:
