Greetings:

I have an arc that comes close to a line, if extended, they both miss one another. What is a good option to create a smooth curve that best fits between the two creating a smooth transition between both points?

Thanks,

Brent

Have you looked at using a Bridge Curve?

BTW, a picture would help.

Could the circular blend curve be of help ?
It will create a spline between two existing objects , the spline looks like a circle in a given direction.

A Bridge Curve should give you the 'smoothest' transition, but the Circular Blend might work as well. It's worth a try either way.
