spinner is used to define the number of spline segments. The
Angle H
spinner
controls the angle between the segment at the origin of the MoSpline and the last seg-
ment of the spline curve created. The
Angle P
spinner controls the angle around the last
segment of the curve originating from the origin of the MoSpline. The
Angle B
spinner
controls the angle between the first and last segment originating from the MoSpline. The
Curve
spinner controls the angle between the tangent of the first and the last segment
point. The
Bend
spinner is used to bend a single spline along its length. The

MoSpline
is selected in the Object Manager. Press and hold the left mouse
button on
MoSpline
and drag the cursor to
Sweep
in the Object Manager; the
MoSpline
is connected to
Sweep
in the Object Manager. Similarly, drag

to
Sweep
in the Ob-
ject Manager; the
Circle
is connected to

Creating Clones
In this section, you will create clones of the
MoSpline
using the
Cloner
object.
1. Choose
MoGraph > Cloner
from the main menu; the
Cloner
object is added to the Ob-
ject Manager.
2. Make sure that
Sweep
is selected in the Object Manager. Press and hold the left mouse
button on
Sweep
and drag the cursor to
Cloner
in the Object Manager;
Sweep
is connec-
ted to
Cloner
in the Object Manager.
3. Make sure that

is selected in the Object Manager. In the Attribute Manager, select
Radial
from the
Mode
drop-down list and set the parameters as follows:
Count:
11
