Thanks!
Backup needed here, though...
I got cautious saying the N word (Nurbs), because then the usual
associations of them being legacy tech kick in, and everybody turns his
back quickly.
This is about being able to use CURVES mostly (which happen to be Nurbs,
too), and which are a fundamental modeling asset. ICE cannot deal with
them properly.
If anybody else finds it as ridiculous than me that not even a handful
of BUGS (not tools, features, workflows) get tackled in that regard, so
we can at least happily write and use our own tools with success, you
might want to tell the devs.
Like surfaces, too? (I do) -> Please also tell Autodesk.
The only outcome of that ridiculous petition I started last year for
better Nurbs only lead to the lapidary comment of Cory Mogk: "we can't
make everbody happy".
(and, to whom it might concern, please refuse from wise comments about
Maya having better Nurbs)

Betreff: Re: Re[2]: Attaching curves
All credits on the curve tools go to Eugen, I was only involved with
testing and bouncing some technical ideas back and forth. Eugen
relentlessly fought SDK bugs and sought work arounds for SDK
limitations, including hammering the devs with bug reports and feature
requests on the beta forum (the latter sadly with litle success) to
make them usable and as robust as the SDK allows.
*raises glass to Stefan Kubicek*
Cheers

They do. Nothing has changed in the SDK since then... sadly.
It's called 'Attach Curves', a topology operator under Modify >
Curve. All
selected curves get attached to the first in the selection
collection.
Guillaume Laforge did such a thing, too, in C++ (got my inspiration
from
it) - 'MergeCurves'.
Part of his 'MergeAndRenderCurves' addon, if you can find it.

Betreff: Re: Attaching curves
Eugen Sares wrote some nice curve tools that does that and more:

Haven't used them in a while but I assume they still work.

Here's a simple question for something we have not found how to do
in
Softimage.
I have two curve objects.... a closed square, and a closed circle. I
want
to join them into a single object without stitching them together or
changing their shapes. I just want to have an object that has both
curves
inside. How can I do this? I've been looking around, and there are
ways to
blend/merge/stitch curves together, but apparently, not to just
attach them
into a single object.
Anyone knows? Thanks!
