- [Instructor] In our last exercise we created a layout profile. And let's go in and edit that profile. So I'm going to go ahead and open up our exercise file, 07-05 ProfileEdit and we have our profile that's been laid out for us and what we want to do is we're going to add some curves so I'm going to select my profile, and from the Contextual ribbon, choose from the Modify Profile panel, Geometry Editor. There's a lot of different ways to create our tangents. We can draw tangents without curves, with curves, when it draws the tangents with curves, what are the curve settings? We also can insert PVIs or delete PVIs as we see fit. What we're going to do is add some curves. Notice that constraints are very similar to alignments. So as we discussed in alignments, make sure that not only are we adding a curve or a line to our profile Geometry, but that we've selected the correct constraints. And so more is covered in the alignments under the constraint types between fixed, floating and…
