Within Maxsurf, a design is made up of a number of NURBS Surface. The shape of the surface is defined only by the:

§   Control points positions

§   Control points weight

§   Surface stiffness

In the previous section we have seen how surfaces may be manipulated as whole objects. Here we will look at the tools available for manipulating a control point or group of control points to achieve the desired surface shapes.

In this section:

§   Adding Control Points

§   Deleting Control Points

§   Moving Control Points

§   Aligning Control Points

§   Smooth Controls or Straighten Controls

§   Manipulating Groups of Control Points

§   Compacting Control Points

§   Grouping Control Points

§   Displaying Control Points

§   Control Point Weight
