Hi all,
I've had a few people ask me about this recently and I've also seen some terrible transitions recently and it can detract from some otherwise solid work;
Start by using the measuring tool to mark where the green splines are located, you need to do this so you can place your fairway spline points on this exact location, this bit is pivotal to make this work, the fairway and green splines have to be in the exact same position. Then make sure both the fairway path and the green path are the same width, do this also with the secondary cut. Then smooth both surfaces and it should line up.
also make sure the fairway splines gradually move off the green splines so you don't create a right angle as this causes bulges and is probably the reason your transitions are currently not looking right.
if it's still squiggly after smoothing both paths, you may need to add more spline points on both green and fairway and also pinch the spline points in just before the green, I've tried to use photos to show this;
If you are doing LiDAR only courses, there's a hack in OSM to make your life easier;
As you approach the green with your fairway spline, come in at a gradual angle and then merge the fairway points exactly to the green points, literally just let the fairway point attach itself to the green points exactly. This will do the hard work for you and all you then have to do in the designer is match path widths;
