This is what I've been working on recently. Apply a bezier curve to that edge
and have some control of the curve AND the face.

Idea for the 3rd version just hit me. The first 2 connected paths from perimeter
up and down the backbone...

so now just need a scaled perimeter, range a function zero to end of that scaled
path (make quad edges) and fill face with 1st method ... all of this then
writtten to a meshfile

thanks for the idea, it will be at the site when done
