I'm kind of new to houdini so this question maybe very simple but I just couldn't find away to do it. how can I combine 2 curves into one and get just the outline like the image attached. I need to use it in a sweep SOP as backbone. I tried the Boolean SOP but it didn't work.

Thanks

Hi SimpleFreeze

You can use the CurveSect SOP to combine two curves(one a circle and the other a rectangle). The circle and rectangle primitive types should both be polygon. Set the CurveSect parameters to cut with “Keep All” for both left and right hand pieces. This will combine the curves and break them up into individual edges. You can then delete the circle and rectangle edges you don't want and be left with the outline.

Hi Mal,

Thanks for the reply. I tried your method its similar to using boolean then polypath to get the edges but the problem is that I don't want to delete the edges I don't want manually I want everything to stay procedural.

Thanks
