{{TutorialNavigation|previous=Creating a Simple Road|next=Advanced Road Construction}}

<big>So far, we should have a basic road made up of a few nodes. We have moved our road pieces around to give ourselves a nice curve, but it's looking a bit weird. How do we solve this problem? We can use free rotation to fix the angels generated between nodes giving us smoother turns as well as allowing a few other unique opportunities.</big>

| <big>Click on Node properties (''N Key'')
:Click the bottom most node on our road connection from the previous tutorial 
:Check Free rotation checkbox 
:In the Yaw box type 0 for 0 degrees</big>

| <big>Click the top most node and do the same except you will use a Yaw of 90 degrees</big>

|- style="vertical-align: top"
| width="10px" | '''3'''

| <big>Use the Move tool (''M Key'') to click the nodes and straighten our roads out for a nice 90 degree curve</big>

{{Tip|If you need to improve the angels even more you can add more nodes between the start and end nodes. Hit Middle mouse button while over a red node to create a new node between the node you clicked and the other end (''highlighted in blue'')}}

{{Tip|Try switching the <code>Gizmo</code> to 'Circle' and use that to make nice curves even faster!}}
