spline through all the points...

spline through all the points...

(OP)
Hi everybody!

One more question... I'm trying to get a spline through some points. However, as you can see in the attached picture, when I select these six points the result is not a curve passing through all of them...then, when defining a spline, does the points one chooses mean the curve will pass through them or they are just control points which define the curve? What I would like is to create a curve passing through all the points...

Thanks in advance.

RE: spline through all the points...

That looks like your display options.
Tools - Options - General - Display - Performance.  Turn the accuracy for 3D down

Great!

it works! but does it mean that the curve was previously fine but it wasn't displayed so well? or that I changed the accuracy to get a less restrictive curve?

RE: spline through all the points...

It is just a display setting to relieve stress on resources with large amounts of data.
