Properties window, go to
All edges.
-
Clear the
Linear option.
-
Define the required curvature.
A positive value creates an inward curve, whereas a negative value creates an outward curve.

Apply curvature to a specific edge |
-
In the
Properties window, go to the properties of the required edge.
The edges are numbered.
-
Clear the
