Chapter 4 Working With Tracks 49
Creating Angles and Curves
Tracks can take any linear path. You can even link the endpoints of a track so that an
element can flow around it in a continuous loop.
To add an angle to a track, you must add a control point to it. A track can have any
number of control points.
To create an angle on a track:
1 Hold down the Control key and click the track anywhere between the endpoints, then
choose Add Control Point from the shortcut menu.
2 Drag the new control point and the endpoints to create the angle you want.
Control points are also necessary for creating curves. If you’re familiar with Bezier
curves, this will be a snap. If not, it may take a bit of experimentation.
