Spline Preferences
This Master Plugin defines the defaults for splines in the current scene. The settings are saved with the scene.

Evaluation Steps
Selected Steps
This is used when the spline is selected and drawn into a viewport.
The value is number of lines drawn in the layout viewport per span to approximate the shape of the spline. The higher the value, the smoother the viewport representation is. However, a larger value also takes longer to draw and uses a bit more memory.
Deselected Steps
This is used when the spline is not selected and drawn into a viewport.
The value is number of lines drawn in the layout viewport per span to approximate the shape of the spline. The higher the value, the smoother the viewport representation is. However, a larger value also takes longer to draw and uses a bit more memory.
This value can be quite low if you have many splines in your scene and the ones you don't have selected don't have to be as precise.

Start Colour
This is the colour used to draw the first knot in a spline (if Show Start/End Knots is enabled) and also to draw the main handle of the incoming control point of a knot.
End Colour
This is the colour used to draw the last knot in a spline (if Show Start/End Knots is enabled) and also to draw the main handle of the outgoing control point of a knot.
