Modifying a Concept Curve

You can modify a concept curve with the selection panel, the select bar, or the handles.

Before you begin: Open a 3DShape containing a concept curve.

Creating a Concept Line
  1. Select the concept curve.
    The handles at the extremity close to the pick point, the select bar, and the Selection panel appear. The light brown direction handle represents the tangential direction in that point. The blue length handle represents the tension of the tangent.

  2. Move the handles to define or edit the tangent in this point.
  3. In the select bar, you can do either of the following, according to the input curve:
    • Click to open the Concept Surface Creation Wizard.
    • Click to remove the current tangent.
      Note: If you remove the driving tangent, the driven tangent is also removed.
    • Click to select a driving tangent.
    • Click to edit the driving tangent.
  4. In the Selection panel, you can do either of the following:
    • Replace or edit the input points of the curve.
    • Define or modify its tangents, if any.
    • Add a tangent.
    • Select a driving tangent.
    • Edit the tangent's tension or reset the tension to 1.
    • Edit the tangent's direction.
    • Get an overview about the current map status and change the status.

    Tip: Click on the right edge of the work area to open the Selection panel.
