    Hi,

    I'm trying to create a front former for a WW1 Fokker aircraft.

    The former is circular with the bottom segment removed to give a flat bottom.

    I've set the fuselage width to equal the diameter of this former.

    The formers are setup to use spline definitions.

    I've drawn the former shape in CAD and imported into DevFus 4 as a DXF file.

    I'm calibrating the image using the dimension from the top of the former to the flat bottom.

    When editing the former I can achieve the flat bottom and the upper part of the curve but the control points which contain the green handles can only be moved vertically at maximum width so I cannot move them in to complete the upper curve.

    Is it possible to use such a shape if not is there a workaround please?

    Thank you.
