Michael Swengel Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 These curves intersect at two points. How can I merge them so that the points at both intersections are actually joined? If I use "Join Curves" the lower intersection is merged into one point, but the upper is not. curveJoin.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelPest Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This is practically none existent in the SVG world. And I´m not sure what you expect from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOW, a node on a curve can connect no more than two curve segments.

That seems odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Join the two lines and fill the result: 3. Delete the two end nodes: 4. Paste the copied lines on top: Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.3.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an alternative approach that permits more than two segments connecting to a single node but it has not generated much interest, & almost no apps support it.

No need for that. Not sure you need 2 colored strokes - if not just break it at the crossing point. If yes add a 2 segment stroke above - maybe.

It just seems very odd to me. I don’t understand why I can’t tell the program that I want those two nodes to be one. I’m (relatively) new to vector design, so I don’t doubt what you’re saying. It just seems to me like it could be a lot more intuitive. Edited September 25, 2021 by Michael Swengel Typo. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
