Network with 2 tracks
« on: October 14, 2012, 09:12:22 AM »
When I try to make a network I get a nice average track for 2.3 miles and then TF fails to combine the last 0.3mi so I end up with 3 tracks. How can I force TF to combine the last 0.3mi??

Thanks

Hi Don,

It's an idiosyncrasy of the algorithm such that it things those two piece at the end are distinct trails since they do not cross each other for a fair distance.

You can solve it by dragging one of the last points over to create an intersection.  See the attached file.  It ends up as one track line after running the network code on it.
