Sets the type of curve
that results once the selected edges are converted.
Open
Creates a curve with
disconnected start and end points.
Periodic
Creates a curve with
connected start and end points. If the selected edges do not form
a closed loop, Maya will automatically connect the two open endpoints.
Best Guess
Creates a Periodic curve
if the selected edges form a closed loop. Creates an Open curve otherwise.
Degree
The higher the Curve
Degree, the more control you have over the curve’s smoothness. The default
setting (3 Cubic) works well for most curves.
