curve, but any other control points act as
magnets attracting the curve in their direction. </p>
<p>You may also set control points to be fixed, so that they are guaranteed to be on the
curve. Clicking a second time on a control point results in it becoming a fixed control
point which is colored blue.</p>
<p>Shift-Clicking on a control point creates a new control point along the curve.
Ctrl-Clicking on a control point deletes the control point.</p>
<p>A slider is provided to adjust the detail level of the created bevel.</p>

<p>The Bend Operation is used to bend objects.</p>
<p>A series of control points are connected to create the deformation curve. These points
define a B-Spline curve. This form of curve has a start control point and end control
point that are guaranteed to be on the curve, but any other control points act as magnets
attracting the curve in their direction. </p>
<p>Click on a control point and drag to bend the object in the region of the control
point. </p>
<p>The top left panel is the deform preview. The bottom left panel allows you to select
the orientation of the deformation.</p>
