Through curve mesh
Through curve mesh
(OP)
Is there a way to control the shape of tcm, by moving alignment points like in through curves?
thanks

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Alignment mainly prevents twisting and other oddities that can come from using only U or V direction (basically sections) curves - which is not necessary when you add guide curves.

What it comes down to is what do you expect to do AFTER your surface is created. If you already know the final shape, because you have a mesh of intersecting curves representing that shape and there is little or no need to tweak the final shape, then Thru Curve Mesh generally gives you the best result. However, if you are only starting with a basic set of curves and your intention is to modify that shape in some arbitrary manner then many of the other approaches may prove to be the better starting point.
