Not sure if this is expected but I have a curve which when I try to explode it says
“Cannot explode single curve segments.” This is great.
Now, when I simplify this curve and try to explode it, I suddenly get 9 Curve segments.
Is this expected behaviour? This is causing issues in a plugin I’ve been working on and in this particular case I’d prefer it to stay 1 curve after SimplifyCrv.
So SimplifyCrv splits it at the kinks. The segments correspond with the kinks you see in the Curve Graph.
You could rebuild the original to a single span within around 0.4 units, or…
Edit:
RemoveMultiKnot will also take the kinks out and reduce the point count to 15 from 34… CurveDeviation from original around 0.004. But not as smooth as a single span rebuild of course.
@spb The plug-in didn’t create the original curve. It’s indeed an intersection of 2 surfaces which then got unrolled. Is this a common thing with intersecting surfaces?
Even the intersection of uniform degree 3 surfaces can have fully multiple interior knots. Some of my scripts simplify curve output, some even the input, but this may (sometimes?) be addressing a symptom.
