Region: Curves (node)Close a set of curves into a filled region - the node twin of the model's Region tool.
Category: Combine | Add menu: Combine > Region: Curves
Region: Curves takes loose curves you built in the node graph - segments and arcs - and closes the ones that meet end to end into a filled region, so they can feed the boolean nodes. Curves must join end to end; open runs that don't close are dropped, and arcs stay arcs (no sampling). It's the node form of the model's Region tool.
Its twin Region: Points closes an ordered list of points instead. The two are a family, not one node: this one joins curves by matching their ends and does not care what order they arrive in, while Region: Points reads the order as the shape.
- Geometry (any): the curves to close.
- Region (region): the filled region(s).
The gateway to the boolean nodes. Union, Intersect and Difference all want regions, so curves have to come through here first.

- Region: Points: the twin, closing an ordered point list rather than curves.
- In the modeling view: Region - build the same region directly on the canvas.
- Union | Intersect | Difference: feed this into the booleans.
