convertline ruins primitive order

[karen]

I attach the hip file, why does convertline ruin the primitive order? How to fix that, the sort node for primitives (by default) doesn't fix it.

Beacause the Fuse SOP node delete a point, and mess up the vertices order in the circle.

So you can just change Circle SOP node's parameter names "Arc Type" to Closed, it will fix that.

Instead of Convert Line, you can use Carve, set First/Second U to the range 0-1, then select the Breakpoints folder and enable Cut At All Internal U Breakpoints. This method preserves vertex order.
