Locate Inflections

The Locate Inflection tool identifies positions on curves where the second derivative equals zero. This is the location where the sign of the curvature changes. Often inflections points are used as indicators of curve smoothness.

Note:
Lines, arcs, ellipses, and conics do not have inflection points.

Example

1. Select a spline to calculate inflection points.
