Okay, let's start with just curves, and if we zoom in to this scenario here, we have two sets of curves, we've got a keypoint curve and a regular circle primitive, and I wanna light up the control points there, and you can see that we have a darker point at this position here, at the three o'clock position, and that is the start and end point of that curve. So, if that's where it starts, the U direction is where we see the first U marker on the control point, so in this case we're going in an anticlockwise direction for this circle. On this one over here, you can see, there's the darker point, and there's the U marker, so in this case we're moving in the clockwise direction.
