Analysis: Curve continuity

“

- [Instructor] In this video, I'm going to introduce the concept of continuity. Think of it this way, two lines that don't touch and therefore are not connected, cannot be continuous. However, once two or more curves get connected, then we can use a G value to describe the quality or smoothness of the result. Let us zoom in to our first example. This will be G0, also know as position. So, just another reminder, like with curve degrees, higher values of G will indicate a smoother solution. Also, the G number can be set to indicate how many additional points either side of the intersection are affecting the result. Let's go and examine these. We notice that they are touching at those single endpoints, but they don't look very smooth. Obviously, there is a sharp corner right there, but this meets the minimum requirement where they share the endpoints or position. Now, we can check this with a command. Up on the Analyze menu…
