When rebuilding a curve it distorts (small curves)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**Issue:**

When the scale of the curve is very small the nurbs curve (the one used to control the card) can distort during rebuilding at certain rebuild values.
This issue is also present in native Maya curves and native Maya rebuild command.

**Explanation:**

When curves are very small and Maya tries rebulding it it lacks the nesesary precision for certain operations. It's the issue with all maya curves, not only GS CurveTools ones.

**Solution/Workaround:**

There are several ways to fix this issue:

1. Using smaller values :ref:`Precision Scale<precision-scale>`. The default value of 0.05 is suitable for most of the curves in normal project, but sometimes the value can be lowered to 0.01 if distortion occurs.

2. Using :ref:`Smooth<smooth>` function right after the rebuild if distortion has occurred.
