2 questions about pwr_blend tool

[JohnyCageII]

Hi,

I read help to pwr_blend tool. I knock on 2 features which i can not imitate or realize.

1) On help-page 8 near about a picture we can read: "Conic Section Blend with Surface Control Polygon Displayed". To my question.. How can i display "control polygon" ?

2)I read repeatedly a part about "Pick Spine Curve". I dont know.. how can I use this button in practice. Some shortly example is the best way to help me.

Thanx you for your time

2)I read repeatedly a part about "Pick Spine Curve". I dont know.. how can I use this button in practice. Some shortly example is the best way to help me.For the Spine Curve you can try the Exploring the Power Blend video found here (http://npowersoftware.com/nurbs/pntutorials_explore_talks.htm).

My instructions were correct then. NOTE: the density of the Control Mesh/Points is derived from the Power surface parameters. If you have it set to the default Number of Curves: 50 it may look pretty jumbled, but you can lower the Number of Curves to 10 or 20 to get a better idea, if you want to.
