    Element Inspector overlay reference

    Use the Element Inspector overlay to configure knots, tangents, and the flow of a spline.

    To access the Element Inspector overlay, select knots or tangents on splines in the Scene view.

    Property Description
    Knot position Set a knot's position.
    This property is visible only when you select knots.
    Knot rotation Set a knot's rotation.
    This property is visible only when you select knots.
    Linear Select the Linear tangent mode for a knot's tangents.
    Auto Select the Auto tangent mode for a knot's tangents.
    Bezier Select the Bezier tangent mode for a knot's tangents.
    Bezier Select the Bezier mode for a knot's tangents if the knot is in Bezier tangent mode.

    The following Bezier modes are available:
    • Mirrored
    • Continuous
    • Broken
    In Set the magnitude and direction of the knot's In tangent. The In tangent defines the curvature of the segment that enters the knot.

    This property is visible only when you select knots.
    Out Set the magnitude and direction of the knot's Out tangent. The Out tangent defines the curvature of the segment that exits the knot.

    This property is visible only when you select knots.
    Magnitude Set the magnitude of a tangent.

    A tangent's magnitude determines how much that tangent affects the curvature of its respective segment. A high magnitude value increases a tangent's influence on a segment's curvature and a low value decreases it.

    This property is visible only when you select tangents.
    Direction Set the direction that a tangent points to from its knot.

    This property is visible only when you select tangents.
    Link Set knots to the same position and link them.
    Unlink Unlink knots.
    Split Divide a knot with two segments into two knots.
    Join Connect the ends of two splines to each other.
    Reverse Spline Flow Reverse the direction of a spline.
