Grid snapping

I'm starting on a new project to create a cheese slicer
I start by creating splines but don't know how to use grid snapping for the points

I hope you don't mind all my questions, I'm happy for your help:smile:

Ok, I'm a bit lost here, how do I make a polygon object from this spline

You´re on the right track; take a Polyplane-Creator object and drag your (closed) spline onto it. Extrude-, Lathe- and others will work with open splines.

Ok, I think I know how to continue, make the plane editable and then extrude.
A bit sad with those triangles, but I usually just delete those after.
One more question, how do I join two polygon points into a line

I´m not sure about this - maybe try the weld tool. Otherwise ask again.

PS: you can also draw this shape with one editable Polygonobject and Menu->Polygon->Create Polygon (N-gons).
 
I don't know what happened to my new posting, it's gone :(
But anyway, using "Create Polygon" (n-tons) as you said is a better choice I think.
I used wrong word "join" two polygon points, I mean, how to "connect" two polygons points into a new line

Still not sure about the question - either weld or maybe optimize-tool will do what you want.
To give thickness to your object add a shell-modifier for example.

Connecting.

As you can see, I have selected 2 polygon points.
I want to "connect" those, to make a new polygon line between them.
I want to make 4 points polygons.

I hope you understand, my english isn't the best.

Cheers :smile:
