Dual Object Connect

The Dual Object Connect mode trims or extends two objects to connect them at their endpoints or intersections. Only open objects, such as lines and polylines, can be connected. Closed objects, except for NURBS surfaces, cannot be connected.

This mode can also be used to connect roof faces; see Connecting Roof Faces.
