welding 3 vertices on a spline?

[green1]

Hello,

I'm trying to weld a spline together, and several times there are crossing points where there are 3 vertices.. however I realise I can only weld 2 together, so anyone have any ideas how I can get around this?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I sort of figured I could loft the spline, convert to poly then bridge the borders.. but this takes a lot of time and I lose the simplicity.
Anyone know of an easier way?

Thanks again

here is a screenshot to give you some idea of what im trying to do.
Ive welded the outside pieces together but not sure how to connect the central pieces.

Thanks to anyone who can help

You seem to be trying to weld the end vertex of a spline to a non-end vertex of another spline. This cannot be done. Either use surfacing techniques (poly, mesh or nurbs) using the splines to create a mesh. Or, if I guess correctly what you are trying to acheive, on the modify panel use 'render spline' (look at help subject for this) to make your splines render as geometry. Or, yes you could loft a shape along the splines. Hope this helps a bit
