Geome try rollout
The Geometry rollout prov ides func tions for
editing a spline object and sub-objects. The
functions available at the spline object level (when
no sub-object level is active; see Editable Spline
(Object) (page 1–295))arealsoavailableatall
sub-object levels, and work exac tly the same at
each level. Other functions are also available,
depending on which sub-object level is active.

Geom etry rollout
New V er tex Type grou p—The r adio buttons in this
group let you determine the tangency of the new
vertices created when you
Shi f t +Clone segments
or splines. If you later use Connect Copy, vertices

splinetothenewonewillhavethetypespecified
in this group.
This sett ing has no effect on the tangency of
vertices created using tools such as the Create Line
button, Refine, and s o on.
•
Linear—New vertices will have linear tangency.
•
Smooth—New vertices will have smooth
tangency.
