How do I Make curves intersect

Options

Number of Points

The number of handles (from 2 to 8) on the curve.

You cannot use more handles than the curve's degree + 1. For example, a degree 3 curve cannot have more than 4 handles.

Parameter

This option is available when the Number of Points is greater than 2.

Locked: the handles stay at the same parameter on the curve as they move (default).

Floating: the handles can slide along the curve as you drag it. This option minimizes the changes to the curve from using Stretch. This option does not affect the first and last handles.

Note

The first and last handles stay locked to their parameters while dragging, even when the Parameter option is set to Floating.

Next: Curve Edit > Create > Duplicate curve
