Creating and Editing Splines by Isaac Oster

Intro: How to draw corner and bezier lines ( activate dragtype bezier!)

Hierarchy of splineline: vertexpoint, segment, spline

Vertexpoint mode: change to corner, bezier, bezier corner, smooth

Create a splineline in a splineline, delete segments

Refine line: add points to segment

Break one vertex point to two points. (White point is first point in spline)

Weld several vertexpoints to one vertex point

Chamfer and filet vertex points: create round corners

Boolean operations: combine two different shapes: inion, subtraction, intersection

Mirror splines in XYZ

Move pivot point of spline in hierarchy

Create 3D object with „rendering” of spline: enable in viewport/rendering: radial and rectangle shape, autosmooth other primitive shapes

Circle: change parameters and convert to editable spline for more options (better add “edit spline” modifier to keep circle parameters)

arc

Ngon: triangle, hexagon, octagon… smooth radius with ” corner”

Text: use different kind of text

Other shapes: rectangle, ellipse, donut, star, helix (smooth corner)

Section: cut 3D objects with sectioning plane

with „Extrude modifier”

with „Shell modifier” (find more information under digitales entwerfen)

with „Lathe modifier“: rotate splineline around pivot point to create 3D objects (use outline)
