Curve Menu
All of the commands and options in this menu require a curve is selected.
Smooth
Gently smooth out a curve. This command is easier to use from the
keyboard - press and hold S until the curve is adequately smoothed.
|
Clone
Make a clone of this curve. You will need to move the new curve
away from the original to see them separately.
|
Mirror Clone
Whereas "M" symmetry creates a virtual fourth line for a lathe
object, Mirror Clone can be used to create a real fourth line opposite
the third, and since this avoids using symmetry the map can be different on
either side of the model.
|
Redraw As...
To make accurate geometric curves and perfect spheres and ellipses
use these commands to turn rough shapes into exact curves. Redraw As...
Semi-Circle is especially useful for making spheres, Redraw As...
Straight-Line helps make flat planes out of loft objects.
|
Draw Smooth Lines
This option means any lines you draw will be automatically
smoothed before being added to an object. This is good for natural shapes.
|
Draw Precise Lines
This option turns off automatic smoothing. This is useful for
drawing square corners and rough ragged lines.
