If you want to create several threads, set the Angle parameter to a large value such as 1800° for ve
revolutions and increase the Movement value so that the threads do not overlap.
Scaling
Scaling determines the nal scale of the spline. The spline is scaled with respect to the origin of the
local axis system of the NURBS object.
Flip Normals
Flips (reverses the direction of) the normals of the Lathe NURBS. CINEMA 4D will usually point the
normals in the correct direction. However, with open contours it is not possible to know which way
they should point. In this case, you can control the direction of the normals, either by changing the
direction of the spline or by enabling the Flip Normals option. This option does not effect the caps,
since their normals are always calculated correctly.
Caps and Rounding
Use these settings to add caps and/or rounding to the Lathe NURBS. The Caps and Rounding settings are
described later in this chapter.
Loft NURBS
The Loft NURBS stretches a skin over two or more splines (although see the tip below). The order of
the splines in the Loft NURBS determines the sequence in which they are connected.
