Basically, what it does is it takes geometry that you have, that's existing, if you select it all then just click on Fit Spline, it's going to fit a spline roughly to that geometry. You can set a specific tolerance for how close or how far it needs to be to what you're showing. You can also delete the original geometry, create a closed spline, if you want, which is a little bit more complex, it'll need to wrap around and completely close itself, and you can also make it constrained or unconstrained, change your preview options with inflection points, and you can also go in and edit the chaining if you want. And that's, I believe, when you use the fixed option here. Just waiting for my graphics to check up. But at any rate, file, un-click that, and hit delete geometry. If I hit accept, now I get a smooth spline that fits the curvature of the original shape I had there. You can see here, though, I can't quite grab it and drag it the…
