When on, creates a new spline sub-object by connecting the new vertices.

Otherwise, the operation creates a Bezier type vertex.

If either of the bordering vertices is a Corner or Bezier Corner, the Refine operation creates a Bezier Corner type.

If the bordering vertices are both Corner types, the Refine operation creates a Corner type vertex.

If the bordering vertices are both Smooth types, the Refine operation creates a Smooth type vertex.

The Refine operation creates a different type of vertex depending on the types of vertices on the endpoints of the segment being refined. If you choose Connect, 3ds Max will not create a vertex: it simply connects to the existing vertex. You can also click existing vertices during a refine operation, in which case 3ds Max displays a dialog asking if you want to Refine or Connect to the vertex. To finish adding vertices, click Refine again, or right-click in the viewport. Click Refine, and then select any number of spline segments to add a vertex each time you click (the mouse cursor changes to a 'connect' symbol when over an eligible segment). Lets you add vertices without altering the curvature values of the spline. The Refine group includes a number of functions useful for building spline networks for use with the Surface modifier. Spline cage tangency can be defined by choosing Linear, Bezier, Bezier Corner or Smooth in New Vertex Type group. This functionality is similar to the Cross Section modifier, but here you can determine the order of the cross sections. All segments must be part of the same object to build cross sections. Continue clicking segments to add them to the cage. Click Cross Section, select one segment then another sub-object segment, splines are created joining the first shape with the second. Select the shapes you want to attach to the current editable spline, then click OK.Ĭreates a spline cage out of cross–sectional shapes. When on, reorients the attached spline so that its creation local coordinate system is aligned with the creation local coordinate system of the selected spline.Ĭlick this button to display the Attach Multiple dialog, which contains a list of all other shapes in the scene. The object you're attaching to must also be a spline. Click the object you want to attach to the currently selected spline object. The clicked spot becomes two coincident vertices, and the segment is split into two parts.Īttaches another spline in the scene to the selected spline. When on, the mouse icon changes to a Break icon. Lets you specify a break point at any segment in the shape (you do not have to first select a segment). To exit line creation, right-click or click to turn off Create Line. These lines are separate spline sub-objects create them in the same way as the Adds more splines to the selected spline.
