Short connecting strokes sometimes go haywire #10

Closed carter2422 closed 10 years ago

carter2422 commented 10 years ago

When drawing a connecting stroke between two junctions that are close together the resulting strip sometimes goes haywire, resulting in a strip that wraps all around the model at weird angles with lots of turns.

This is a known issue but it's proven to be difficult to track down (per @vxlcoder ).

A beta user also reported it, right in the beginning of this video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10731204/Polystrip%20beta.m4v

Untested Theory: I have a suspicion that with very short strokes, fitting a bezier has many many solutions. Eg, any crazy bow tie shaped path can pass through 3 points. I think we tesselate short paths but I'm not sure what happens if the stroke is trimmed between two junctions.

closing; believe it has been fixed
