Splining surfaces

This smooths surfaces to give tangent-continuity on selected points. The positions of the selected points are changed during this operation.

Note: Tangent-continuity is a smooth change in tangent direction as you move across the surface.
  1. Select specific points on the surface.
    Note: Selected curves are ignored.

    For example:

    Note: Points along the edges of surfaces cannot be splined.
  2. Click Surface Tools tab > Modify panel > Spline.

    Selected points are splined in both the lateral and longitudinal directions, giving a smooth surface at these locations:
