Spline Polygon PropertyManager

You can control the shape of a 2D or a 3D spline by dragging or setting values for the control polygon nodes. Changing the locations of the control points (nodes), updates the values of the X and Y Coordinates (in 2D splines), and X, Y and Z Coordinates (in 3D splines) in the PropertyManager.

The Spline Polygon PropertyManager appears when you select a control point and make it active. You can drag the control points or adjust the values in the PropertyManager.

PM_Z_Coordinate_Spline.gif Z Coordinate (3D splines). Adjust the values for position relative to the z axis.
  Relax Spline Re-parameterize (smooth) the shape after dragging. The Relax Spline command becomes available again by dragging a node on the control polygon.
