deeds Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I have two Nodes on a path, they're adjacent to one another, and basically occupy the same space. I want them to become one. Is this possible? Sorry for use of Fuse/Weld. I don't know of another term (off the top of my head) for doing this. And it's just become much more important to be able to do this with the new roundings tool. xicus and ronnyb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paekke Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 you don't need to. Just select the node with the node tool and delete it, and you should be left with only one node. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeds Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 That's not the answer this drone was looking for. There's other reasons I want a weld/fuse, but the main two: 1. Sure and consistent maintenance of handles/beziers 2. I don't want to be diving down into the 1,000,000x zoom to try to pick one of them to delete when they're sitting incredibly close to one another.

deeds Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 I've just tested it, I lose the qualities of the curve when using a delete. Really need a weld/fuse for maintenance of the adjoining curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paekke Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Why not use the 1.000.000 x zoom?.. it's there, use it, if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeds Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Because it still doesn't solve the problem. See above. Deleting a node means the incorrect bezier handle properties (that of the remaining node) are applied to the subsequent out curve. Hence the existence of fuse/weld. It takes the in curve (let's talk clockwise) from the top left node (if we're at the top of a curve) and the out point from the node to the right, and passes them to the resultant single node when they're fused/merged, meaning the curves remain the same. If you delete a node you get disastrous, ugly results that require editing to get the curve back to what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 +1 for a proper Join and Average commands for Fusing nodes; happy to agree with @deeds on this one, this is important functionality... Average = average the X and Y position of selected nodes Join or Fuse or Weld = Collapses 2 nodes into one It would be great to have a way to apply BOTH of these commands at the same time, OR separately... bdrex and xicus 2 Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, macOS Sequoia 15.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 18.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLowmo75 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 +1 for welding verts/end points please. The Join function isn't helping in my case. I have the 2 curves I want, and simply want to weld their end verts into one, but the Join gives me another line between the two end points, which complicates the matter rather than simplifying it. Looks like my only option is to rebuild the curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJack Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I've been begging for this for months, and months, and months, and months, and months... Ironically, the two independent handles are respected when joining the endpoints of separate curves. bdrex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdrex Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I realize this is a long-dead thread, but I just tripped over this missing operation today in 2021, and this is where google brought me. Join/Merge/Weld selected curves with a threshold value would be a nice feature when cleaning up vector data from other apps - DXF / PDF outputs from CAD packages is a big one.

Glorious Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 And here I am to +1 this, a year later lol. After a Google search I wound up in the same place while trying to figure out how not to ruin a curve by deleting an unwanted node left over from a add.

xicus Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) +100 new to the software, but clearly this ability is long overdue. is there a place where features can be recommended and upvoted? is there a way to add 3rd party functionality, extensions?
