: Inkscape - sculpting paths joining the ends unintentionally I've found some strange behave and I am not sure if this is my lack of knowledge or the application behavior. I want to modify selection

@Kevin459

I haven't used that feature much myself, however it seems to convert open paths to closed paths - in fact it only seems to work properly with closed paths.

I tested this as follows.


I made a simple path, duplicated it and applied an interpolation of 20 steps.
I attempted to use the Tweak tool, but it turns the paths it touches into closed paths.
I then converted the paths to closed shapes using Path > Stroke to path. And now the tool works, but it creates literally thousands of nodes, and slows Inkscape down.


See my attempts here



Here's a close up of those thousands of nodes it creates. So, I'd use it with caution - especially when using it with so many curved shapes.
