The Connect command extends and trims curves to meet at their endpoints.

Steps

  1. Select the first curve.
  2. Select the second curve.

Command-line options

Join (Yes/No)

Specifies whether to join the resulting curves or not.

ExtendArcsBy
Arc

Extends arcs with an arc segment tangent to the input curve.

Line

Extends arcs with a line segment tangent to the input curve.

ExtendOtherCurvesBy (Line/Smooth)

Extends a curve (that is not an arc) smoothly or with a straight line.

If the extensions of the picked ends do not intersect, the other ends may be connected.

SubCrv

Type subcrv to select part of a curve as input.

Command-line options

Join

Joins the resulting curves.

ExtendArcsBy

Connect Surfaces

The ConnectSrf command extends or trims two surfaces to where they intersect.

Steps

  • Pick two surfaces near the edge to extend (blue area), or at the side to keep (red area) if the surface will be trimmed.

  • Surfaces can be connected when the intersection of their extensions is a curve. It will fail if the intersection is an overlapped region.
