- | === Reset Twist === | + | While the direction of the spline is defined by the spline itself, an item could be banked any way around it. |
+ | |||
+ | The up vector defines the direction that is considered to be upwards at a specific knot. This value is interpolated from one knot to the next as an item moves along a spline. | ||

+ | This changes how the undo system works. By default, actions are consolidated. | ||
+ | Basically, multiple edits of the same type to the same item are stored as one undo step. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For example, if you move a specific knot multiple times in a row, say to tweak it, then all of the moves will be consolidated to a single un^do step if this option is enabled. | ||
+ | If this option is disabled then every single small move of that knot will be a separate undo step. | ||

- | * Sometimes a click will not register in a viewport (especially in a perspective view). This is due to LW delivering garbage coordinates which the tool filters out and ignores. | ||
* Switching the tool from one viewport to another can be glitchy at times. We tried to keep it safe so it requires a click on the new viewport to make the handles active again. | * Switching the tool from one viewport to another can be glitchy at times.
