great video!! i followed the mentioned procedure in the video but during match edge command, G2 continuity is not showing any different result than G1? can you tell why it may be happening?to get the shown shape after edge match command , i had to use X-form. thanks

Hello, G2 requires at least 2 rows of control points on both sides of the edge, while G1 only needs 1 row. If you have only 1 row, then G1 and G2 will appear the same.

@@SiemensJimmyCostello thanks for the reply.Can you briefly tell how to ensure 2 rows (settings),if possible?

@@gauravsharma-ot6vs If you pause the video at 3:15 and look at the Match Edge window, under the parameterization tab there is an option to increase the degree. Increasing the degree will add rows of poles allowing for G2 continuity to produce a different result
