Re: Controlling spline twist
RMB on spline and select "Display Control Polygon" to adjust the twist.-
Re: Controlling spline twist
That doesn't seem to help much. I think it has something to do with the spline point being tangent of non tangent driving.-

Re: Controlling spline twist
See attached, not as curvy as what you had, but maybe it'll work or give you a different method to try.
Still used a 3D sketch for a path, but gave the main curve sketch entity following the pulley/fan an on plane relation to the plane I inserted, and the other path lines have all along x, y, or z axes relations. The second sketch entity attached to the main curve also has perpendicular relation to a surface of the pulley/fan. After I had the arcs and straight line sketch entities set the way I wanted, I used the tools>spline tools>fit splines tool to make a spline out of all the sketch entities. Uncheck the closed loop option, adjust tolerance as needed.

Re: Controlling spline twist
Thanks, that's it. I didn't know you could use the fit spline relationship
