Cornu Track Object Fields
  • End Angle
    • Each end has an angle which helps determine the curve shape. It can only be set if the Track is not joined at that end.
  • End Radius
    • Each end has an radius which helps determine the curve shape. It can only be set if the Track is not joined at that end.
  • End Pt
    • Each End Point has a position. It can only be set if the Track is not joined at that end.
  • Center
    • Each End shows the center of the curve of the end segment - this is a read-only field. If the radius is zero, the field will show {0,0}.
  • Minimum Radius
    • This is the approximate smallest radius along the curve based on curve fitting to the Cornu.
  • Maximum Rate of Curvature
    • The maximum rate that the radius is changing over its length based on curve fitting. It gives an idea of the "sharpness" of the curve.
  • Total Winding Angle
    • The number of degrees that the curve executes - this number will rise if there are loops in the curve.
