The feature starts on the first curve selected, passes through an interior
curve known as the shoulder curve, and ends on the third curve. The slope at each
end is defined by a selected apex curve. See ends-apex-shoulder for details.
endsslopesshoulder
The feature starts on the first curve selected, passes through the shoulder
curve, and ends on the third curve. Slopes are defined at the start and end by two
independent slope control curves. See ends-slopes-shoulder for details.
filletshoulder
The feature starts on the first curve selected, is tangent to the first body
selected, ends on the second curve, is tangent to the second body, and passes
through the shoulder curve. See fillet-shoulder for details.
threepoints-arc
Lets you create a section free form feature by selecting a starting edge
curve, an interior curve, an end edge curve, and a spine curve. See three-pointsarc for details.
endsapex-rho
The feature starts on the first curve selected and ends on the second curve.
The slope at each end is defined by a selected apex curve. The fullness of each
conic section is controlled by the corresponding rho value. See ends-apex-rho for
details.

one section to another, and are
available only when you choose the
By Points Alignment option.
