Concatenate/Reapproximate Curves

  The Concatenate/Reapproximate Curves option merges two or more existing curves into one new curve. The original curve is deleted. Curves can be merged with the following options:

  • Reapproximate Curve

    Redefines the curve based on a locally set triangulation tolerance instead of the global tolerance. Used to create a smoother curve definition.

  • Concatenate Curve

    Joins the curves selected that are separated by a gap less than the given tolerance limit.

  • 2D Hull

    Creates a convex 2D hull around the selected curves. The curves are connected into a faceted curve that does not follow any concave shapes.

    • Tolerance

      The curve approximation tolerance.

    • Max shrink

      The relative shrink wrap tolerance. The value entered should be between 0 and 1. A typical value is 0.2.

    • Four curves

      This option splits the concatenated faceted curve into four edges so that a surface can be created from them.
