Close a set of curves into a filled region - the node twin of the model's Region tool.

Category: Combine | Add menu: Combine > Region: Curves

Region: Curves takes loose curves you built in the node graph - segments and arcs - and closes the ones that meet end to end into a filled region, so they can feed the boolean nodes. Curves must join end to end; open runs that don't close are dropped, and arcs stay arcs (no sampling). It's the node form of the model's Region tool.

Its twin Region: Points closes an ordered list of points instead. The two are a family, not one node: this one joins curves by matching their ends and does not care what order they arrive in, while Region: Points reads the order as the shape.

• Geometry (any): the curves to close.

• Region (region): the filled region(s).

The gateway to the boolean nodes. Union, Intersect and Difference all want regions, so curves have to come through here first.

• Region: Points: the twin, closing an ordered point list rather than curves.
• In the modeling view: Region - build the same region directly on the canvas.
• Union | Intersect | Difference: feed this into the booleans.
