Spline tool

The Spline tool allows you to create curves when you are in the process of creating a new model or adding to an existing model. To access this tool, click Spline (Geometry tab > Create panel > Curves > Spline).

The Spline Spline command is used to create a spline through all the points that you specify.

Dialog element Explanation
Coordinates Specify, in order, the coordinates through which the spline will pass.

Click directly on the model.

Tip: To select multiple coordinates, hold down the control key. Click Add to add the selected coordinates to the Selected coordinates list.
Selected coordinates Shows the list of coordinates that you have selected for the new spline to pass through.
Tip: Click on the coordinates in the Selected coordinates list and click Remove to remove any unwanted coordinates.
Add Adds the specified coordinate to the list of coordinates through which the spline will pass.
Remove Removes the specified coordinates from the list of coordinates through which the spline will pass.
Automatic apply when selection complete When this checkbox is activated, the selected tool is applied automatically to the chosen mesh elements whenever all inputs have been specified.
Create as Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it. For example
  • You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it.
  • You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it.

In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves.

Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change.
Filter The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
