How to close a 2D object


Recommended Posts

Odd thing, Delmer ...

We have 2 virtually identical machines running in the office both with the same version of VW, and same workspace layout. One machine has the option check box to close the polyline, and mine doesnt. Any ideas? We tried to duplicate the excercise exactly.

There are two ways you can end up with an open-sided poly, its just plain not closed (here you will have the checkbox), or one side is actually there but is hidden (no checkbox). If it is hidden you will see a centerpoint along the vacant side. Use the Hide or Show Edges function of the 2D reshape tool to click on the centerpoint and make it visible.

If they don't touch use the Connect/Combine tool set to Dual Object Combine Mode and then close the last segment with the checkbox on the OIP.

Extenting and combining arcs will convert them to polys, in which case its better to use the Dual object connection mode and then Compose as Grant mentioned.
