This setting applies globally to Maya. You can change it on a case-by-case basis. Set the following tolerance options: Positional Set the degree of accuracy between the actual positions of the original and interpolated curves. Tangential Set the degree of accuracy required to determine if two NURBS objects are to be made tangent across a shared edge or point.
