4. In the Back viewport, click on the origin to create a point, and then click a few
grids to the right along the X-axis, then again slightly above that, and so on, until
you have an arc of 9 or 10 points that provides a cross section of the bowl??™s outer
profile, from its center on the Y-axis to its outer rim to the right (Figure 8.54).
Figure 8.54 Using the Spline Draw tool, you can begin creating a curve to model a bowl.
5. Click a little to the left of your last point to create a lip for your bowl, then click a
new series of points, more or less parallel to the first set, to shape the bowl??™s
inner-surface profile, ending back at the Y-axis (Figure 8.55).
Figure 8.55 Continue creating points to finish building the cross section of the bowl.
6. Before you commit to this curve, you can click and drag on any point you??™ve created
to adjust it. Be careful to precisely click on any point you want to adjust.
Clicking near a point will add a new one and continue your curve.
Note
7. When you??™ve got the points along the curve positioned as you like, press the
spacebar to turn off the Spline Draw tool.
8. Switch to Points selection mode, and select the two endpoints on the Y-axis.
