Creating a Snapped Bézier curve

Use this option to create Bézier curves snapped to a surface or solid. A single Bézier curve can be snapped across multiple faces of a solid, but to only a single surface.

    • Press the Alt key to move the point onto the nearest surface edge as shown below.
    • Press Ctrl + Alt to move the point to the surface edge while maintaining the straight nature of the curve.
