3ds Max scripting help - Fuse with distance threshold?
polycounter lvl 11
What I want to do:
I want to use hairline Fonts and fuse and weld them together to only one spline per stroke with a few clicks for a special use.
There is this very old script called Fuse n’weld I can’t get running. Well my scripting knowledge is null.
But to get what I want, even more would needed. There should be no double line left, like for cnc machines.
Any tip how to achieve that? ?
Help would be very much appreciated, as I am trying to get this done for some days now.

don't think you going to get a script to do what you want. just a simple t junction would be a nightmare to sort in code. Be quicker to just create new spline by hand over the existing font. Besides max doesn't really let you weld non adjacent knots. So your looking for some kind of tracing... something 2d photoshop or illustrator perhaps ?
also it might help to post the a typical font or a sample .ai file
Thanks for your answer.
That's what I am doing in the moment. Deleting segments by hand.
And yes, using other apps to get this done is an option as well.
But above script is kind of helpful for a bunch of tasks.
Cleaning CAD data could be easier with it as well.
The strange thing is, that the script worked once, but hell, I have no idea what a did to get this 23 year old guy running.
There is another script from Spline dynamics checking overlapping etc.
Spline cleaner.
This is close https://www.splinedynamics.com/spline-cleaner/
I'll try that one.
Breaking vertices first, than running this script with delete duplicates?
