Cut circle into segments?
-
Hello!
I'm trying to cut a circle into segments. I make a circle, make it editable, add 4 points for example, but if I use the Spline/break segment; there is a new segment detached but the circle remains below. How can I do that? I mean, divide the circle into several independent splines?
Thanks!
P.D.: Can't attach an image as there is a constant message "Error image too large!" for a 400kb jpeg -
Hi tell-inside,
Cut where you need new points.
Select the start and end points that define the new "Segment".
Use the Spline> Modify> Clone> Disconnect command.This is now a multi-segment Spline
Use the Spline> Modify> Segments> Explode Segments.
This will result in a Spline Group, whereby the parent is an empty Spline.(Images can't be higher than 500 pixels. Sorry)
All the best

P.S.: here is a one minute screen capture of the process

@Dr-Sassi Hello Dr.Sassi!
Sorry but the problem remains; there is a new section separated, but points in the circle remain united below with a spline. I mean I have a new disconnected spline, and the cut points have a new spline, not a hole. I'm trying to upload an image. Reduce it to 40 kbs but always says image is too large. If I can't show you the problem, it's going to be hard to explain.

Hi Javier,
Do you have the Close Spline check box on?
Without a project file with the exact problem, I do not know what else to do.
Please attach the file here as a ".c4d" file.
If it is larger than 1MB, please send it only via Dropbox, Google, Apple, Adobe, or Wetransfer. Anything else will be ignored for security reasons. Thanks for understanding.
If you have only a single Spline in the file, it should be below 1MB.A file usually tells me the whole story, while images often contain little information to solve the problem accurately.
Here, I recreated it instead of asking for the file, as I also do not just answer from memory. Things might have changed. Hence, I check things carefully.I will have a look in the morning into it. (West-Coast [CA] time here.)
All the best

Hello Dr.Sassi!
I did it correctly! It was an error with the order of things and mixing Cloning with Break segments in Spline tools. Your video made it clear! Thanks a lot!
