Close open spline

[erobinson]

Does anyone know how I can easily find openings in a spline and/or overlapping vertices and edges that prevent the extrude modifier from working correctly?  I very frequently need to import .DWG's and .AI's and many times they have hundreds of vertices.  Even after I apply a normalize spline modifier to diminish the vertex count, it can be quite tedious to find breaks and overlaps.  I find fiddling with the weld verts also to be a pain (usually removes more vertices than I want).  I just want to graphically see it on the screen the problematic areas if possible.  Attached is a good example.  I can easily see on 2 of the splines the yellow vertex to signify start/finish but on the 3rd spline I don't see anything.  There are 2 vertices in the same spot and it looks like 1 white vertex.  I've never really used Xview but I'm probably not using it correctly.  When I use it I get a bunch of green vertices that aren't in any way overlapping.  Maybe someone can help.  Thanks in advance, Eli

Hi dear,

There is at my knowledge no way to use xView directly with splines, but a good alternative to check the overlap could be done converting it to Editable poly, to check the errors, and the have a good knowledge one when the error is one the shape:

Until Autodesk adds xView for splines, that's a very helpful idea that I'll definitely apply, Thanks!

Also, thank you for the video!
