The loop bails as soon as one curve converges since the math for clipping falls apart as soon as one curve becomes a point. However for implementing the boolean operations, I need good parameter values for both curves. Since I know the 2D intersection point from the curve that converged, and I can guess a reasonable parameter value for the curve that didn’t, I can use Newton’s method to refine the parameter value of the curve that didn’t converge. Fortunately, that’s something I’ve done before when fitting curves to points.

I loved the faq. (There's one thing in particular I really like about it, but I'm pretty sure you know what it was.) If I used Mac stuff, I'd totally buy your products. Best, E Congrats, Andy!
