Pulling Curve Ends

You can toggle between Tangent and Natural (curvature continuous) extension when dragging the end of a curve. To drag the extension Tangent to the curve, press and hold Ctrl prior to dragging. You can release the Ctrl key once you start dragging. If you do not press Ctrl, the extension is created Curvature Continuous.

  • Works for splines (extended or trimmed-back)
  • Works for arcs

Example:
Press Ctrl and drag to pull the curve end tangent to the curve.
Without pressing Ctrl, pulling the curve end extends it with its natural curvature.
