Edit Poly (Edge) 657
If the selected edges are not continuous, or if
they branch, the resulting shape will consist of
morethanonespline.WhentheCreateShape
function runs into a branching ’Y’ in the edges,
it makes an arbitrary decision about which edge
produces which spline. If you need to control
this, select only edges that will result in a single
spline, and perform a Create Shape operation
repeatedly to make the correct number of
shapes. Finally, use Attach (page 1–308) in the
Editable Spline to combine the shapes into one.
