  • Select an editable patch > Right-click the patch > Tools 1 (upper-left) quadrant of the quad menu > Sub-objects > Handle

Handles are also accessible at the Vertex sub-object level, but the Handle sub-object level provides the following enhanced features:

  • The ability to select multiple handles for transformation and application of operations such as Patch Smooth to them.
  • Usage of the transform gizmo when manipulating handles.
  • Elimination of the possibility of inadvertently transforming vertices.
  • Support for named selection sets of handles.
  • Copying and pasting handles.
  • Use the Align tool for aligning handles.
