# Link and unlink knots
|
|
|
|
You can link knots from splines attached to the same Spline component. Linked knots share a position. When you move a knot, its linked knots also move.
|
|
|
|
Use linked knots to create a spline with branched paths. For example, you can create a spline that represents the following:
|
|
- A road with merging lanes
|
|
- A river with tributaries
|
|
- A diverging sets of mountain paths.
|
|
|
|
You can link knots in the Scene view context menu or with the **Draw Splines Tool** in the [Scene view](xref:UsingTheSceneView). Use the Scene view context menu to unlink knots.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> You can link more than two knots to each other. If you link knots that are already linked to other knots, all the knots link to each other.
|
|
|
|
## Link knots with the Draw Splines Tool
|
|
|
|
To create a linked knot with the **Draw Splines Tool**:
|
|
1. [!include[select-spline](.\\snippets\\select-spline.md)]
|
|
1. [!include[set-spline-context](.\\snippets\\set-spline-context.md)]
|
|
1. In the Tools overlay, select the **Draw Splines Tool**.
|
|
1. Select a knot that has two segments to create a knot that links to it.
|
|
The new knot is the first knot of a new spline.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> If you use the **Draw Splines Tool** to create a knot on a linked knot, then that new knot is added to the existing link.
|
|
|
|
