Create and Edit Curves

To Create Curves in Onuma:

• While in edit mode and with reshape toggled on, manipulate edit points to create a line segment on your polygon with its edit points corresponding to the start and end point on your curve.
• Now hold down Alt and click on the line segment
• This makes that line segment into an editable curve
• Click and drag the curved segment to edit by stretching it to your desired curve size.
  Note: A polygon in Onuma that contains a curve disables the ability to edit by dimension. The Dimension that is displayed next to the curve is the distance between the curve's start point and end point.
