Not sure if this is a bug or just an optimization I hadn’t noticed previously, but: I was just checking out the web demo to see the popup you added, and noticed that longer/more complex tube paths seem to be getting massively simplified: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1hbz2odacplstx1/paths.mp4?dl=0](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1hbz2odacplstx1/paths.mp4?dl=0) ---

Both the previous and current implementation have issues. ---

Understood. I wasn’t sure, as I usually don’t scribble wildly like that when I’m actually using the app. 🙂 ---

Note that 1.46 is already released and has the new version. The main advantage is that it works with “snap every point”. Basically: 1. the first version didn’t produce any curve (control points), so it was precise and “snap all” was working fine. But no further curve editing in 3d was possible. 2. then I added a simple 2d curve fitting algorithm. But with 2 issues: - the curve fitting works in 2d, so “snap all” was broken since depth wasn’t taken into account (only the control points are snapped) - the curve fitting was producing too many points on a turn 1. now the simplification algorithm works in 3d, so “snap all” works better. But as you noticed it simplify too much. I plan on improving it. ---

Oh nice. In the interim, a “just snap all the points even if I can’t edit it afterwards” option might be nice, if it’s easy enough to add. ---

Should be better on 1.47.
