+ | ==== Selected Spline / Deselected | ||
+ | The following settings are available for selected and deselected spline. This allows you to reduce clutter in the viewport for splines that aren't selected. | ||

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. | The value is number of lines drawn in the layout viewport per span to approximate the shape of the spline.

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. | 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. | ||
