So I have a spline selected, I'm going to go ahead and click on that. And now what it does is it basically is giving me a preview of a simpler spline that's pretty close to what I wanted but it's taken out all of the roughness and things like that. I can lower my tolerance and it'll hug even tighter. But really, I want to reduce the number of spline points as much as I can. So I'm going to increase this tolerance and really just let it go wild just to show how exaggerated it can get. But starting with my basic shape I'm going to go fro 12 points to five points. Or I can just smooth it out by adding a little bit of smoothness. I could also turn it back down and go back to my original number of points. So I'm going to get it to about five points.
