fixing Curves

Hello, i am trying to make a 3D metro map and for the thinner line network i decided to use curves and give them width. but they always seem to turn out uneven. i tried

removing depth->convert to mesh->merge by distance->convert to curve but it always reapears at random places

    Hi RRigel864 ,

    A simple way, would be to use Geometry Nodes:

    Those 3 Nodes in the green Frame are the main ones.

    Here's another thing you can do (without Geometry Nodes):

    Convert Mesh To Curve. Extrude the Curve a bit and then Add a Solidify Modifier:

    Also they seem uneven because you're trying to merge them at the turning points where they deform because of the 90 degree angle. Where there is a turn, I try not to crash them there and instead use another curve:

    And changing them from 3D to 2D helps with the deformation:
