Underlying edges after splitting a curve

[loxogon]

Hello community, hello npower-team,

I have noticed, that after splitting a curve sometimes there appear "copies" of that curve which are unsplit.

I start with a curve consisting of a single edge.

Then I use the split command, about in the middle of the edge.

When I try to blend the first half with another curve, than sometimes powernurbs has problems to select the first half and tries to select the whole curve. When I examine the curve then, I discover three edges: the first half, the second half and the whole curve.

Is that a bug?

Can someone help me to solve the problem if it isn't?

Kind regards
Arnim

The blue curve is the reference curve, which allows you to split, trim, and join curves without altering the shape of the original. This links the edge to the original shape allowing you to move the split/trim along the original curve.

When you are doing a Blend make sure "Pick Entire Loop" is disabled. If that is enabled it will ignore split points. If that doesn't fix it then post a file for someone to look at.

Hello Eric,

thanks a lot for your reply.

I could not reproduce the "bug", but maybe it was simply my fault. Maybe I did something wrong, when I converted the curve.

But I have another question, though this is not the right Thread for it.

How can I convert a sharp corner vertice of a sketch, which has an x-line connection between two c-curves into a smooth vertice with all properties of a c-line-vertice?

As I am not sure, if I can express myself well enough, I have put an illustration into the attachement.

Kind regards
Arnim
