Clean Up

shortcut 3 in edit curve mode

The Clean Up tool is used to clean up POLY and NURBS curves - remove doubles, dissolve (nearly) colinear redundant points, and delete loose splines - all at once.
It's the curve sibling of the Clean Up tool in MACHIN3tools.

Selection

• no particular selection is required, but POLY or NURBS splines need to be present

Using Clean Up

Remove Doubles, Remove Redundant, Delete Loose - all at once

Invoke Clean Up from the Menu, the Sidebar, or using the Keymap

• Remove Doubles merges neighboring points closer than the merge distance
• Remove Redundant dissolves (nearly) colinear interior points
  • optionally enable Ignore Tilt so points are dissolved even when their tilt differs from the neighbors
• Delete Loose removes loose POLY/NURBS splines
• Cyclic 2-point splines are always turned into non-cyclic ones
• A fading label reports what was done at the mouse location, or let's you know if everything is clean already

All of these options - including the merge distance and dissolve angle - can be toggled or adjusted afterwards in the redo panel.
