If the input curve is open, then this node makes the curve periodic. If the input curve is periodic, then this node makes the curve open.

This node behaves as a toggle, ie. if a curve is closed twice, then the result is exactly the same as the original curve. Use this node if want to close a curve such that it becomes curvature continuous along its entire length.

blendBias, blendKnotInsertion, inputCurve, outputCurve, parameter, preserveShape

Long name (short name) Type Default Flags
inputCurve (ic) nurbsCurve NULL outputinputconnectable
The input curve
preserveShape (ps) enum 1 outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
0 - without preserving the shape 1 - preserve shape 2 - blend
blendBias (bb) double 0.5 outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Skew the result toward the first or the second curve depending on the blend value being smaller or larger than 0.5.
blendKnotInsertion (bki) bool false outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
If set to true, insert a knot in one of the original curves (relative position given by the parameter attribute below) in order to produce a slightly different effect.
parameter (p) double 0.1 outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The parameter value for the positioning of the newly inserted knot.
outputCurve (oc) nurbsCurve NULL outputconnectable
The output curve
