Creating and Editing Point Sub-Objects

In addition to the points that are an integral part of point curve and point surface objects, you can create "freestanding" points. Such points can help you construct point curves by using the Curve Fit button. You also use dependent points to trim curves.

• Select a NURBS object. > Modify panel > Create Points rollout
• Select a NURBS object. > Modify panel > (NURBS Creation Toolbox)
• Keyboard > +T to toggle NURBS toolbox display (Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle must be on.)

You create individual points as NURBS sub-objects while you are modifying NURBS. To create points individually, use the Create Points rollout or the NURBS toolbox.
