    Choose Connect 2pts/View and then place two data points to define an imaginary line. Enter a data point in the view that the top face's plane is perpendicular to.

  3. Enter a data point to define the start point of the curved form.
  4. Enter a second data point for the curve segment.
  5. Enter a third data point to complete the curve segment.
