Creates new NURBS curves in the scene by placing edit points.

New Edit Point Curve Options

Knot Spacing

A “knot” is the parameter value at an edit point.

Chord – The chord length parameterizes the new curve edit points in current units. The chord length is the cumulative straight line distance between consecutive edit points. The starting point of the curve has the parameter 0.0, and the ending point has the parameter equal to the total chord length of the curve.

Uniform – The new curve edit points have integral parameters: the first edit point is parameter 0.0, the second is 1.0, and so on.

Curve Degree

The mathematical degree of the curve created, which control the number of CVs per span: 1 (linear), 2 (quadratic), 3 (cubic), 5 or 7. The default is 3.

Create Guidelines

Create vertical and horizontal guidelines at each point you create.
