For splines created with the control vertices method:
Specify first point or [
Method on page 1823/Knots on page 1824/Object on page
1824]:
First Point
Specifies the first point of the spline, either the first fit point or the first control
vertex, depending on the current method.
Method
Controls whether the spline is created with fit points or with control vertices.
(
SPLMETHOD on page 2546 system variable)
Fit Creates a degree 3 (cubic) B-spline by specifying fit points that the spline
must pass through. When the tolerance value is greater than 0, the spline
must be within the specified tolerance distance from each point.
Changing the Method updates the
SPLMETHOD on page 2546 system variable.
Control Vertices Creates a spline by specifying control vertices. Use this
method to create splines of degree 1 (linear), degree 2 (quadratic), degree 3
(cubic), and so on up to degree 10. Adjusting the shape of a spline by moving
control vertices often provides better results than moving fit points.
This is the preferred method if you are creating geometry to use with 3D
NURBS surfaces.
