Hi Pilou,

> What do think of my another crossing post of the pseudo code of an internal loop selection?

Maybe someday, but as you can see in my example video it really goes quite quickly already - it would take me a lot longer time than 12 seconds to make a special internal loop selection mechanism. So for now just doing this type of selection should get the job done quite easily already.

Sure! :)
But possible in theory without time limit?

PS I made the "selection" in less than 6 seconds! ;)

Sure! But it's hard to come by that unlimited time in practice though! ;)

And actually it could be somewhat difficult to implement, selection code could probably separate things into different groups but it might have some difficulty deciding which of the groups are meant to be kept and which are meant to be discarded. The Offset command is able to do that better because it does extra work to keep track of where pieces originated from.

But at any rate, it would take me far longer to implement it than the amount of time that it would save you.

Try using the Fillet tool on the curve for rounding off the sharp corners.

First join the curve pieces together so you've got one long closed curve. Then select it and run Construct > Fillet. The Fillet command will show points at each sharp corner and will prompt you to select which corners you want to round off. You can just right-click or push "Done" to target all of them.

Then enter in your fillet radius, and you can choose whether you want a circular shape or a blend shape for the connecting pieces.

That will round off all the sharp corners in one step.
