Create Curve		Lets you draw a 3D curve on the model, or a 2D curve on the screen plane. (Mudbox recognizes whether you are drawing on a model or in empty screen space, and creates either a 3D or a 2D curve accordingly.) See also Create curves. The Create Curve tool is sensitive to the end-points of existing curves, so if your stroke passes close to the end point of another end point, a new line connects one curve to the other. A small circle displays around the end point when your cursor is in range to extend or connect curves.
Grab Curve		Lets you modify the shape of an existing curve. See Modify curves.
Smooth Curve		Lets you smooth out bumps or jagged details on the curve by averaging the neighboring points.
