The caps parameter is about limiting the range of the cylinder. This is done by indicating what side(s) of the cylinder is/are block(ed). Meaning something sliding/snapping on it should never have overlap into outer space on that side.

The 'a' value means the origin side is blocked. (e.g. stud underside)
The 'b' value mean the outer end is blocked. (e.g. anti stud ceiling)
The 'two' value means both ends are blocked (e.g. the curve blocks both sides in your example).
The 'one' value auto selects 'a' or 'b' depended on the gender. For male it's the origin (A) and for female it's the end (B).

Hope this clears it up some more.

Milan Vančura Wrote:I may confirm I tested those caps values in the editor and they work as intended.
If clips snap to 'two' capped of a lesser length this is the result of the bug I mentioned above. If 'none' is selected you will be able to slide from the outer rims but the clip will be intersecting the mesh of the plant curve.

In the end it is just a helper value as you can still end up moving stuff inside parts as they might use a different snap point or are using very complicated shapes (e.g. a pin inside a larger hole).
