Section 2. The Spline Context Menu

rdSplineTools displays a section in the splines context menu, right-click on a spline point and you’ll see the submenu.

The options you’ll see depend on how many points you have selected. If you have more than 2, you’ll see:


1. Straighten Points

This tool straightens all points between the outer two selected points, all tangents are reset – Spline Blueprints (such as rdRoads) can take advantage of this and add Instanced Static Meshes rather than SplineMeshes.


Otherwise you’ll see:


1. Split Spline Here

Splits the current spline into 2 at the selected point.


2. Split Spline Section

Splits the current spline into 3 with the middle section being the selection. If the selection is at the start or end, it’s split into 2 sections.


3. New Spline Here

Adds a New spline as a child to the selected spline (moves with it) and sets it perpendicular to point.


4. Copy Spline Data to Clipboard

This is the same as the option in the Actor Menu, copies the Spline data as text to the Clipboard.


5. Create Spline from Data in Clipboard

Recreates the Spline from the text data in the clipboard.
