Creating an arc or a circle


Since a circle is a 360-degree arc, you can create either one and adjust its angle to make it into an arc or a circle.


To create an arc or circle:
  1. Choose Modeling > Preset Curves, then choose Circle or Arc.
  2. The curve appears in the center of the World and the curve parameters appear in the Parameter Editor.

  3. Expand the Geometry parameters.
  4. A circle is closed and its angle is 360. An arc is open and its angle is less than 360. By adjusting the Closed and Angle parameters, you can change a circle into an arc and vice-versa.
