Editing Splines

You edit splines in the same way as you edit garbage masks, working with their vertices and tangents. See Moving Vertices and Tangents.

If Lnk Src & Dst is selected from the Link box, your edits affect both the source and destination spline regardless of where you make the edits. See Linking and Unlinking Splines and Axes.

TipThe Link box has no effect if spline nodes are linked in the Distort schematic while morphing using source interpolation. See Linking Source Nodes.

To edit a spline:

1. From the Edit Mode box, select one of the following modes to edit a spline's vertices.

   Select: | To:
   --- | ---
   Select | Select one or more vertices.
   Move | Move vertices to a new position.
   Scale | Scale vertices in relation to the axis centre of the spline.
   Delete | Remove vertices from the spline.
   Break | Break tangents of vertices.
