help with multiple splines

notaloser · 15-01-2005, 01:22 AM

hey guys

pretty simple question to answer i believe, but i need some help

im currently using multiple splines in a model (im new) and i was wondering:

1. once a spline is closed or completed, how can i add another vertex to it without having to delete and re-create?
2. since im using multiple splines, i was wondering how to connect to seperate splines together at a single vertex

edit** sorry im using 3dsm6

thanks,

nota

To add vertices to a spline use the refine tool.

thanks a lot, do you know how to connect splines?

I not sure what you're asking (see above qoute). Do you "how do I attach one spline to another?" or "How do I weld the vertices of two seperate splines together?"

i know what attach is, i figured that one out but its not what i am trying to do

sorry about my bad wording, im trying to weld the vertices of 2 splines

welll once the splines are attached, try to line up the vertices. Then select them both, right click and find "Weld" in the lower left quad menu.

If this wasn't what you were asking, sorry.

i think that should work, im doing the R390 GT tutorial, and im on the spline stage, do you know if this is the method he uses?

i dont think it is because his splines are connected at common vertices but all of his splines are still different colors

in that image, it would appear that the spines are still all seperate oblects, and the vertices from each spline just share the same coordinates. An easy way to do this is to use your snap tool (make sure vertices is the only thing checked), and select one vertice and snap to another. See image.

oh yea i guess so, sorry for that and my lack of reading

thanks for everything
