 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.

 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.

+The up vector handle is a small circle and a dashed line to the selected knot, rendered in green.
-Selecting it and moving the mouse to the left/right will change the twist value for the knot. Then Angle is displayed numerically as well.
+It can be selected and moved in all three dimensions. Since there's no axis or planar handles (yet), that may require changing the viewing angle to get into the desired position.
 ===== Known Issues =====
-  * 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.
