Splines are special objects that stretch between two nodes. Splines are flexible. They can bend and curve, raise above the terrain or hug the terrain closely.

===Spline Tools===

===Using the Object Filter===
The filter allows a user to reduce or increase the number of items showing in the selection window.
There are two types of filter:
* Content Type: Tap the filter buttons to toggle various content types on or off. This is very useful to show just the type of object that you are currently working with.
* Item Name: Type in the name field to filter any items that include the characters typed. e.g. type 'road' to show items with the word 'road' in the name

===Move Spline===
