Spline creation tools are on 'Create' tab of commands bar in 'Splines' group. These allow snapping to spline points and to spline curve lines.

Snapping - two more buttons added to snapping toolbar: Spline Points and Spline Curves. Merging several sequential control points of the single spline will produce single control point instead of selected. Welding a start and tail point of the same spline will 'close' the spline into looped curve. Weld - merges selected control points (points from different splines can be welded to create a merged/linked control point). Will detach it's merged points from other splines. Mirror, Move, Rotate, Scale - each tool does what it supposes to do.ĭetach - can be applied to spline on nodes level. Insert - when applied on manipulators level, creates a spline point under cursor in a given spline. When splines head or end-point is merged to another spline, using a break tool on this point can detach spline, so it's no longer linked with merged point to any other spline (to say, 'Detach' tool does the same).ĭelete - deletes spline or spline control point When breaking non-closed spline chain, a new spline is created at break point. You can break the closed (looped) spline so it will have an accessible start and end-point. The following tools can deal with splines and perform specific tasks when applied to spline or spline control point:Īttach - merges joined spline into one spline when applied on nodes level (splines should have a shared point already) merges splines into single spline when applied on manipulators level (a sort of 'connect' operation is performed when one point is bridged/connected to another point with new spline segment) - no shared point required to attach this way.īreak - breaks up spline at a given control point. Per-spline color assignment can be configured in settings menu (and color is set in spline properties)ĭrawing spline direction arrow can be configured in settings menu. Spline and manipulators colors customization via settings menu User-defined options can be set on spline and/or any control point Three types of control points (affects incoming and outgoing spline segment): corner, bezier and bezier-corner Per-point segmentation (detalization) or automatic detalization Shared (linked) control point positions between different splines Splines and their control point have the following features (some should be configured in options): Splines were restored and now available in ZModeler3.
