• Key Concepts: 
  NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) curves are a type of mathematical curve used in computer graphics to represent smooth curves. They are used in the CA-VE SAP Visual Enterprise component to create realistic 3D models of objects. NURBS curves are defined by a set of control points, which can be manipulated to create different shapes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In CA-VE SAP Visual Enterprise, NURBS curves can be used to create 3D models of objects. To do this, the user must first define the control points for the curve. These points can then be manipulated to create different shapes. The user can also adjust the degree of the curve, which determines how smooth or sharp the curve will be. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a NURBS curve in CA-VE SAP Visual Enterprise, it is important to pay attention to the degree of the curve. A higher degree will result in a smoother curve, while a lower degree will result in a sharper curve. It is also important to pay attention to the control points, as they will determine the shape of the curve.
