Control point settings

Use the Control point settings to edit spines more precisely. Select a control point and refer to the Properties window to access the settings.

Property	Description
Style	Choose from "Corner," "Linear," or "Smooth" to control the nature of the spine through the point.
	Corner	The control point has a corner.
	Linear	The control point has linear handles (each handle points 180° away from its counterpart).
	Smooth	The control point has linear handles (each handle points 180° away from its counterpart) but the handles must be of the same length. Smooth is best suited for flowing branches without sharp jinks, since jinks are hard to reproduce with equidistant, linear points.
Select	Use these options to modify which control points are selected.
	Next	Select the next control point.
	Previous	Select the previous control point.
	To end (Alt + click)	Select the current control point and all other points to the end of the branch. Using this option and then using the Rotate gizmo is a good way to quickly rotate the spine.
	Grow	Connect the selected point to the one after it. The connected control points behave in the same way when manipulated.
	Shrink	Connect the selected point to the one before it. The connected control points behave in the same way when manipulated.
	All	All control points behave in the same way when manipulated.
Add Control Point	Use these options to add a new point before or after the selected point.
	After	Add a new control point after the selected control point.
	Before	Add a new control point before the selected control point.
