Modifying the flexibility of a curve

1 After starting the Curve Flexibility command, select the curve you want to modify.



If the selected curve is a specialized curve and not a NURBS, you are asked to confirm whether you want to convert it into a NURBS (unless you have deselected the Ask before converting check box).

Tolerance for converting into NURBS

You can control the way the curve is converted by setting a suitable Tolerance value. The lower the tolerance value, the more accurate the resulting NURBS will be and, hence, the more control points it will have.

To change the selected curve, right-click on Curve, select Reset in the context menu and perform selection again.
2 Type the new values of degree and continuity in the Degree and Internal continuity boxes. Remember the degree can only be increased, while continuity can only be decreased (down to 0).
3 To appreciate and evaluate the effect of the change, you can display the control points by selecting the Show Control Points check box.
4 Click or to confirm your selections and modify the curve flexibility.
Click to discard your changes.
