If later in this tutorial you can't see any curves, only straight lines then this is probably the reason - UNcheck sub-divisions in patch inspector.		This is '''without''' any fixed sub-divisions of tesselations which is default (see patch inspector.) If later in this tutorial you can't see any curves, only straight lines then this is probably the reason - UNcheck sub-divisions in patch inspector. [EDIT] I have later made a very small pipe bend and in this I had to give it fixed sub-divisions. So all I can say is try both to see which works. Always use the minimum number that looks OK in-game.

	This is how to add a 90 degree curve to a flat patch and in the same plane rather like adding a curved section to a model railway layout. The same method could be used for different degrees and sizes of patch. Scan down the images to the end one to see if this is what you want.		This is how to add a 90 degree curve to a flat patch or pipe and in the same plane rather like adding a curved section to a model railway layout or adding a bend to a pipe. The same method could be used for different degrees and sizes of patch. Scan down the images to the end one to see if this is what you want. This example is for a flat patch. For a pipe just create a cylinder and work constantly from one side. It will look much the same but there will be more vertices exactly behind the front ones which will get selected and moved automatically with them.

Notice how you dragged up that last one in a straight line, parallel to the vertical side lines, until it hit the diagonal? Similarly, the horizontal middle line is also in a straight line parallel to the horizontal sides and meets the other centre line at that diagonal. But what if you want to reshape the patch?

	Often you will need to reshape your patch to fit so it won't be this classic example shape; it might be long and thin with a fat side piece in a real case. You do that by dragging vertices of course but all you have to remember is after moving the sides the middle lines should be parallel to the ~~side lines and they should meet at the diagonal. If they don't, no worries, move the vertex~~ of ~~one to the centre of the diagonal then move its other vertices sideways until the line is parallel to~~ the side lines.
