Editing a pcurve

Occasionally when you generate a pcurve, it may need adjusting slightly.

Note: Editing a pcurve also changes the boundary containing it.

To edit a pcurve:

1. Select the surfaces on which the pcurve lies.
2. Click Surface Tools tab > Mode panel > Trim Region On/Off.

   The Trim Region toolbar is displayed.

3. Select Pcurve edit mode from the mode flyout:

   

   All pcurves on the selected surfaces are displayed.

4. Use the pcurve editing options to edit the pcurves:
   • — Generates diagnostics on pcurves.
   • — Selects all pcurves on the selected surface.
   • — Selects all unused pcurves on the selected surface.
   • — Displays/removes the pcurve selector.
   • — Removes one-point spikes from the selected pcurve.
   • — Removes loops from the selected pcurve.
   • — Removes surplus points to simplify the selected pcurve.
   • — Labels the ppoints on pcurves.
   • — Turn point labels off.
   • — Makes pcurves from wireframe.
   • — Copy pcurves.
   • — Extends the selected pcurve.
   • — Cuts the selected pcurve at the selected point into two pcurves.
   • — Opens the pcurve.
   • — Closes the pcurve.
   • — Deletes the pcurve.
   • — Displays/removes the ppoint selector.
   • — Edits the parametric value at the selected ppoint.
   • — Inserts ppoints into a pcurve.
   • — Deletes the selected ppoint on a pcurve.
   Note: Most operations are available when multiple surfaces are selected.
