Join two lines

Hi all,

is there an easy way to join two lines that are seperate but will intersect if I extend them? In Rhino would work with a fillet 0 radius.

In Grasshopper, I'm used to extending both, finding intersection, splitting at parameter, selecting the correct two lines and joining.

Could this go faster? :)

thanks! Anja

This is how I approach this matter:

Most of the Components are purely data handelling. The only thing you are doing is finding the intersection of two lines (Not Curves) and then removing the closest end points and creating a polyline

Check your results. It appears you are inserting a line between the two closest ends rather than achieving the same results as Fillet = 0 in Rhino.

To fix it you have to include the Intersection point in the resulting line.

@Danny,

thank you, this method work perfectly. Now I'm just going to try and understand what you are doing ;)

@DeDackel,

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but these options all draw lines between the endpoints instead of extending? (see screenshot). I selected the two lines for the first input component.

Wow, you guys are fast :)

Thanks! I'll go find out which method works best for me.

Try this. I do wish a basic drawing commands like FilletZero and Extend were accomodated in Grasshopper, but in lieu of that, this is as simple as I could imagine it.
