Have you ever tried to control the shape of a curved form in the Family Editor? If so, you know that flexing them sometimes throws you a curve ball. In this course, Paul F. Aubin explores several techniques to tame your unruly parametric curves. This includes examples of circles, arcs, arches, splines, and even complex curves like cyma moldings. The real power comes in with formulas, profile families, and proportions, which allow you to mathematically control your curves. At the end of this course, we can’t guarantee you’ll never have misbehaving curves, but we’ll give you several useful tools to help tame them.

Topics include: •Creating seed families
•Creating circles, ellipses, and arcs
•Controlling rotation
•Working with segmental and elliptical arches
•Using profile families
•Working with cyma curves
•Using fixed proportion and scaling
