# Draw a Spline

<div align="left"><img src="/files/-MhI_kYHwulgWTmEHMy4" alt=""></div>

With the free-form spline tool you can draw a spline with your mouse directly within the viewport. Activate the tool in the left toolbar.

![The spline color indicates its direction, from blue to white](/files/-MhI_kYGlYD8mLCALo4Z)

Use your left mouse button to add a new point to the spline. Hovering over an existing point moves the point. A Right-click on the spline allows you to insert and delete points.

The spline color indicates the beginning and end of the spline. It starts from blue and changes to white.

To edit an existing spline, select it and run the free-form spline tool.

## **Spline Properties (Settings Window)**

| Build Orientation | This will be automatically set, depending on which view (top, left..) you use to build the spline. This is important for arrangement. |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Closed            | Will close the spline from the first to the last point.                                                                               |
| Interpolation     | Linear or cubic interpolation mode.                                                                                                   |
| Invert Direction  | Inverse the order of points. This also has an effect on arrangements.                                                                 |
| Symmetric         | This will create a horizontal symmetric form.                                                                                         |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.depence.com/depence-construction/depence-splines/depence-draw-a-spline.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
