Blending Between Points

  1. Enter the Blend tool.
  2. Select the first point or vertex.
  3. Ctrl+click to select multiple points or vertices.
    A blend preview displays between the first two points.
  4. Ctrl+Select more points or vertices.
  5. To make the curve tangent:
    • Ctrl+click neighboring edges of the vertices if you want the blend curve to begin tangent to one or more edges.

    • Alt+click one or more neighboring faces if you want the blend curve to be tangent to the face(s).

  6. (Optional) Modify the blend by selecting from the following options:
    • Rotational blend: Create arcs whenever possible during the creation of a blend. You must have selected points rotated around a common axis.
    • Periodic blend: Go all the way around when blending. You must have selected three or more points rotated around a common axis, that also span an arc greater than 180 degrees.

    • Ruled sections: Create straight line segments when you blend between three or more points.

  7. Click Complete to create the blend.
