Creates a 3D spline based on specified control vertices. To end the spline and exit the command, click OK. To end the spline and remain in the command click Apply.
Click work points, vertices, or endpoints of geometry projected with the Include command into the 3D sketch.

Control Vertex Spline
In a 3D sketch, you can constrain splines:
- Use the Coincident command to attach spline endpoints to other endpoints, work points, curves, and Included geometry.
- Apply a tangent constraint between a spline and other curves and Included geometry.
- Use the Coincident command to attach the spline endpoint to the endpoint or vertex of the other curve or Included geometry before applying the tangent constraint.
- When placing the tangent constraint, select the spline first, then the other curve or Included geometry.
You can dimension and constrain the control vertices and control frame.
When editing an active sketch, adjust splines using context menu options.
- Display curvature
-
Curvature combs help visualize the spline smoothness. Curvature combs amplify discontinuities in a curve.
- Convert to Interpolation
-
Changes the spline type to an interpolation spline.
- Insert Vertex
-
Inserts a new vertex on the control frame.
- Polygon Visibility
-
Turns on/off the display of the control frame polygon.
