Spline Ends!

[cornjo]

I'm trying to make a spline that resembles an airfoil. I would like it to start at the tail/point, have one continuous curve and then end at the same point that it began. The problem is that the spline automatically changes to a smooth curve at the end/begin point. Is there a wayto make the end point close to the beginning point without the automatic smoothing of the entire curve. Hopefully there is a shortcut key that i just need push.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Why you want to create enclosedprofile curve? You can create few curves (minimally two) and than trim them but it is of course dependet of what you want to do exactly....


Aboutsketcher: You can simply join end point with first point of curve but than use double-click function to open simple window to edit the the whole shape (curvature) of curve...In this window for editing of curvature, you can evaluate curvature and you can simply add new poit (right click on curve "add point")wherever and whenever you want.Check figure below:

WF 3.0 ISDX now lets you do a complete enclosed spline to add to MIKO's post. Just use shift to snap to the end of a curve and ISDX automaticly forces tangency to the tail of that same curve. Kinda cool and 2001 shoulda been able to do that.
