Tolerance
This denes the smoothing of the conversion. The higher the value, the smoother the contour
appears. However, more and more detail will also be lost. The smaller the value, the more detail of
the original picture will appear in the result. However, this can lead to staircase-like jaggies at the
spline’s edges.
Different tolerance values affect the accuracy of the spline.
Plane
With this option you choose in which of the three planes the spline primitive is created.
Reverse
Enable this option to reverse the spline’s points.
Intermediate Points, Number, Angle
These interpolation settings dene how the intermediate points of the spline are produced.
4-Side
This command creates various 4-sided primitives, such as trapeziums or parallelograms.
