 You can use custom values for this spline by disabling this option and changing the following values.
 ==== Evaluation Steps ====
+The number of cached values per span that are used to compute the orientation along the spline.
+If you find the orientation to be "jaggy", increase this value.
+These are also used to compute the values required for [[tools:s-tk:displacement-node|]] and [[tools:s-tk:proximity-node|]].
 ==== 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.

+==== Shapes ====
+As of October 2019, shapes are now supported as well. The controls in the Shapes tab allow you to solo to the shape selected in the list. You can also access the
+Progress envelope via this tab.
+Details on editing shapes are available here: [[tools:s-tk:layout-tool#shape_animation|"Spline Edit: Shape Animation"]]
