Splines<br />

Once a defining node of the spline is selected by clicking , it can be reassigned by selecting another node,<br />

delete, or add a new one. Once a defining node is selected, the spline begins rubberbanding, following the<br />

cursor, just like at creation time. A following mouse click selects another node or creates a new one. For<br />

convenience, the old node gets deleted if it was not referenced by any other element.<br />

Note that the node position and, therefore, the shape of the curve, can be modified in the node editing<br />

command “EN: Edit Node”.<br />

To add a new defining node use the option .<br />

Switch to “Insert Point” mode<br />

Note that the insertion of the new node will be before or after the selected node, depending on where the<br />

cursor was at the instant of option activation.<br />

To fix the new node, click .<br />

If the node selected for editing is part of the control polygon, its<br />

weight can be modified by typing .<br />

When editing defining nodes of a “through nodes” spline, this option<br />

is unavailable.<br />
