Creating the First Splines

  1. Click Spline (Sketch toolbar).
  2. Sketch a two-point spline coincident with the end points of the tangent arc and the point on the horizontal construction line on Plane2.
    A 2 point spline creates a fully defined spline. A spline with more than 2 points requires additional relations to fully define the sketch.

    With a fully defined spline, you can add curvature by applying tangent relations between the spline and the adjacent construction lines. The sketch remains fully defined.



  3. Repeat step 2 with the points shown.
