Description

This tool creates a periodic B-spline curve passing through given points. See this page for more info about B-splines.

Usage

  1. Press the Periodic B-spline by knots button.
  2. Create a series of points by clicking in the 3D view. While the command is active, the created points are connected with straight lines.
  3. Optionally press M before terminating the input to define the multiplicity of the knot at the last defined point (note that this may not always be respected; see limitations for details).
  4. Optionally press Backspace before terminating the input to delete the last created control point.
  5. Right-click to terminate the input and generate the curve.
  6. Depending on preferences, the tool may remain active to trace a new curve. Right-click again to exit the command.
