Handles in Circular Arcs curves: Normal and Curved Nodes
These nodes have two symmetric and aligned
handles. If you drag one of them, the other one will
move symmetrically.
When moving any of the handles, the other one
also displaces, accompanying its movements. That
allows you to adjust the geometry to both sides
keeping the smoothness of the curvature.
Handles in Circular Arcs curves: Corner and Curved Nodes
Nodes defined as corner have handles that are not
aligned, that is, they are not 180º apart from each
other. Please note in the right figure that the angle
formed by both handles is acute.
Example of handle edition
In a normal node (with two handles)
both keep aligned and of a fixed length
maintaining the smoothness of the
curvature.
Please note the result of dragging a
handle in the left figure.
However, to modify only one of the handles, drag it while keeping
the Ctrl key pressed.
Note that only this handle changes direction and the node turn into
Corner mode (right figure).
You can define the direction of the handles when creating the
outlines of the section. If at the moment of clicking to locate a node
you drag the mouse (without releasing its left button), a handle
moves in the direction of the dragging. Its angle is set when
releasing the button.
