- [Instructor] Now when working with splines,
after we've created the geometry,
and outside of the options that are available
in the property tab, we also have several spline tools
that are available to us.
First let's talk about the controls.
So now we know that we have these insertion points along,
and these are used to control the shape of the spline.
If we select the spline, it turns on
our various tools for spline.
The first one that we've got here
is adding tangency control.
This adds a tangency control handle
that you can drag along and position
just like we have right here.
So I'm going to select that, click on tangency control,
and I'm going to start adding a new control.
So you can see here how that's already
affected our geometry by adding another point.
I'm going to do that one more time, turn on the tool
and just select another point right here
and we've added another control.
We can also do that by adding a curvature control,
which basically gives you an arc that you're
going to be controlling at that specific point.
So you can see how, as I drag that center point along,
it controls the curvature of that arc,
keeping that curve in it.
So these are just two of the controls that are available.
We have many other features that are also available
in the spline tools.
I'm going to be talking about them next.
