Spline Handles

A spline handle includes multiple handle types to control the weight and direction (vector) of the spline at that point.

You can control weight and direction:
  • Individually or together
  • Asymmetrically: one side only
  • Symmetrically: both sides together

Handle colors indicate the status of the operation.
