- [Instructor] When creating splines, you might not be sure
if you want to create a style spline
or an interpolated spline.
But with the tools that are available
you can actually convert between the two.
Let's run through this real quick.
I'm going to just select a regular spline,
create a couple points, and hit escape.
Here we have a regular spline with our handles
like we're used to seeing.
If I select that, go to tools, spline tools,
and then click on convert to style spline.
I'm going to go ahead a click yes.
This is going to convert that from an interpolating spline
to a style spline that I can now adjust
using the line geometry like we've talked about before.
If I want to convert it back, I just select it again,
go to tools, go to spline tools, and now I convert
to a interpolating spline.
Go ahead and do that.
And the one downside to that is you see
I've got way more handles than I originally had.
Which you might want to do is just hit simplify on that,
increase your tolerance a little bit
and get it back down to a reasonable number of handles.
And it's approximately back to where it was.
You can see it's pretty simple to convert back and forth.
All you've got to do is select the spline first.
Go to the tools, spline tools, and then select
the appropriate convert.
And if you forget where it is, you can always search for it
up in the window here by just typing in the beginning words,
convert, and you see convert to style spline comes up there.
