There are two initial states:

2. No curves selected - When there are no curves selected, only the curve that is 'closest' to the first cursor click will be sculpted.

Click on Sculpt to enter sculpting tool
- CTRL + LMB: Set sculpting radius
- LMB: Sculpt
- MMB: Smooth
- G key (Default Maya repeat last step hotkey): Toggle the sculpting tool.
- Lock Length: locking curve length during sculpt.
- Lock Root: locking the root of the curve so the root would always stay in position.
- Smooth Strength: Intensity of the Smooth operation (MMB). If your curves are going wild at an angle, it could be due to low amount of CVs on your curves. Try rebuilding your curves to increase the CV counts.
- Normalize: space out curve cvs along the curve.

- If you are sculpting on Braids or Curls, please make sure your current frame is at 1. Otherwise, the curve will not move the braid!
