    How To

Tip:
  • During the Draw Points step, you can use options on the command bar to construct either an open or closed curve.

  • You can use the Insert Point button on the command bar to insert additional points into the curve. To delete a point from the curve, hold the SHIFT button and click the point, or right-click the point.

  • You can connect a keypoint and an existing keypoint. To connect the keypoints, right-click the existing keypoint and follow the prompts.

  • You can delete the connect relationships on a keypoint so that you can drag the keypoint on a face. To delete the relationship, right-click the relationship and follow the prompts.

  • You can drag an existing point to a new location on the face.

  • When drawing a curve across faces that are not tangent, you must place a point at the shared edge.
