Multiple End Knots on Multiple End Knots off If you create a pair of curves with Multiple End Knots off, you can use Snap to Points to align the second CVs (next to the end CVs) of each curve to create tangent continuity between the two curves. Note As with all tools in Maya, you can change the options after you create an object. Select the curve and open the Channel Box or the Attribute Editor. Create > EP Curve Tool Lets you draw a NURBS curve by placing edit points.

The default setting (3 Cubic) works well for most curves. Knot spacing The knot spacing specifies how Maya assigns U positioning values to knots. Chord length knot spacing distributes curvature better. If you use the resulting curve to build a surface, the surface might display texture mapping better. Uniform knot spacing produces curve U positioning values that are easier for you to predict. Basics 255
