splines issue
Ok, so here’s the procedure i’m doing.
I am recreating a heart: flat top, bottom and sides. Adding a lil extrude to it too.
I drew oner half of the heart on the XY axis using a linear spline, and applied a symmetry nurb to duplicate.
My problem is now to get the two to join together. When i drop everything in the extrude nurbs, the extrude occurs occurs as an outline, not filled in.
Anybody could give any advice as to what I’m doing wrong?

Make the symmetry object editable, select the resulting spline, and check the “close spline” box in it’s properties.

ok i tired that, but i get two lines running down the middle.
How can i avoid that?

it sounds like the spline was not quite close enough in the Symmetry Object to join (weld) the two parts. So either make sure it welds in the Symmetry or do it by hand in the editable version

Oops, you’re right. Problem is that both segments are running in the same direction, so when you close the joined spline it connects from top to bottom. Solution: before checking the “close spline” box, select two of the overlapping endpoints and run the “join segments” command. That will weld them and set a continuous direction for the spline. Then check the close spline box.

Wow… this: “Oops, you’re right. Problem is that both segments are running in the same direction, so when you close the joined spline it connects from top to bottom.
