Un-Divide an Edge (Line)?
-
Is there anyway to "un-divide" an edge? I get this problem when using the follow me tool a lot. Afterwards, the edge it creates is broken up into itty bitty bits. Anyway to glue them back together?

If the line is actually linear, ten you can just draw out a small line segment from the break point and then delete. That will "heal" the line back into a single line. This will not work if it is not a truly linear line though.

Yea, I had that work around going on straight lines, but I am needing a way to do curved lines after a "follow me" action. It is really slowing me down. The workaround is selecting bounding edges then deselecting what is not needed for the "route"...but sometimes that is not possible.
-
That does not seem to work for me Chris, whether I continue in the direction of the existing bits or change the angle of the next segment. I remembered there was an easy way.... (other than weld.rb (?)), but it is lost to me now.
edit: Oh... draw the new segment from an internal break point...of course.

You could always use the Weld plugin and see if that un-divides the lines. You also may want to look at Fredosix's plugin called Hover Select. It allows you to select all the lines of a curve even if they are divided.

I will look into that Earthmover, thanks for the tip.
brookefox, what do you mean by "draw the new segment from an internal break point" ?

Weld will only "weld" those edges (so you can select them as one entity) but will not remove the segmentation. There is a "repair broken lines" plugin that Jim is suggesting here:

But I cannot seem to be able to access the Ruby Library Depot ATM. This would indeed "heal" these divided edges. -

Draw from a break point away from the outer ends, not from an end end point (on a segment not attached to another at both ends, but rather at only one end).

Thanks Simon. It is actually on and off nowadays and sometimes it works sometimes don't.
