8d. Welding Points
Welding of points turns 2 points into one, and can be used to form one spline out of two, to close a spline or to connect parts of a spline as needed to create faces. In order to weld points, you must first select one of the points which you wish to weld. Then (using the
translate tool) move the selected point near or directly over the point you wish to weld to by clicking and holding the left mouse button as you move the mouse. Before releasing the left mouse button, click the right mouse button once and the selected point should snap to the closest point. This forms one point which is now selected for you to move or weld elsewhere. You can weld as many points as you like together, but only one at a time. Sometimes it is easier to use the
add point tool to create a two point curve somewhere away from the current model and then drag each point individualy to the desired point to weld with.
