#### Steps

* [Select](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/popup_actions/select_objects.htm) a curve and [pick](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/popup_actions/pick_location.htm) the center of the rectangle on the curve.

### **Deformable**

Sets the degree in the u and v [directions](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/popup_moreinformation/curvesurfacedirection.htm) and the point count in the u and v[ directions](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/popup_moreinformation/curvesurfacedirection.htm).

**UDegree/VDegree**\
Sets the [degree](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/popup_moreinformation/degree.htm) of the surface in the u and v directions.

**UPointCount/VPointCount**\
The number of control points in the u and v directions.
