| + | The Checkboxes **with convex endcaps** and **with concave endcaps** determine whether a newly created bezier patch should have fitting endcaps at creation. | ||
| The fields **width** and **height** define the number of vertices on the two axis of the Bezier Patch. | The fields **width** and **height** define the number of vertices on the two axis of the Bezier Patch. | ||
| Higher values mean a higher density of vertices. | Higher values mean a higher density of vertices. | ||

| + | Note that these options are not available for all basic bezier patch forms. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Subdivs Horz** and **Subdivs Vert** controls adjust the subdivisions of a bezier patch in x or y direction. A higher value means a more seamless bezier patch surface. You can also use these two controls to adjust the subdivisions of a currently selected bezier patch. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Values of -1 mean, that the number of subdivisions is chosen automatically. | ||
