- [Instructor] Now I want to talk about some common tools.
These are tools that you're going to use
in quite a bit of the functions
within the freestyle workbench.
These are located in the Tools dashboard,
which I just pulled out.
When I enter into one of the functions,
I'm going to select this surface,
and in this example, use control points.
You'll notice that several of the tools
on the Tools dashboard become active.
These allow you to visualize, as you can see,
the continuities.
You can also turn on and off the orders as well,
and control the attenuation,
which is the amount of movement that happens
as you move the mouse through space.
So as you're going through and working
within the context of freestyle,
you need to make sure you may attention to this dashboard.
As an example, right now my attenuation is set to high.
If I grab this control point, and I move it,
doesn't look like anything's going on.
Now if I change this and say No Attenuation
and grab that control point, you'll see
that the control point is actually moving.
So the high attenuation is just allowing you
to make very precise, small movements
whereas no attenuation is just move as the mouse moves.
So again, these are common tools on the Tools dashboard.
You can also control your compass.
You can control the step mode and the dynamic motions.
And depending upon what function you're in,
you'll also have a Furtive Displays and Variance.
So just pay attention to this dashboard
as you're working along.
What you're looking for may be located here
versus within the actual menu itself.
