List of NURBSConst Types

See Also: Class NURBSPointConstPoint, Class NURBSCurveConstPoint, Class NURBSSurfConstPoint.

One of the following enum values describes the type of NURBSConst this is. For example, these correspond to the types of dependent points available in the NURBS Surface user interface in the 'Surface Point' rollup.

Constrained objects are those that exist in the parameter space of other objects.

kNConstOnObject

Indicates the point is actually on the surface of the object.

kNConstOffset

Indicates the points is offset some distance (specified in object space) from the surface of the object.

kNConstNormal

Indicates the point is offset some distance along the normal to the curve or surface.

kNConstTangent

Indicates the point is offset some U and/or V distance along the tangent from the curve or surface. If the value is positive it's the tangent that heads in the direction of increasing parameter value; if negative it's the tangent that heads in the direction of decreasing parameter value.
