Hi,

You may find that turning up Style > Curve Steps helps but if the problem persists you can make a few changes to the style so that each row is calculated independently. To do this:

- Change the vertex on either side of the bend to a Bezier - Corner. This is to force adaptive mode to start and stop segments at these points and keep the paving on straight sections aligned.
- Open the Style Editor and add a new empty segment to the Inner Corner inputs of both Generators.
- Change both Generator's Properties > Geometry > Y-Mode to Free. You can read more about this mode here (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/RAILCLONE/2D+arrays+-+Generator+A2S#id-2Darrays-GeneratorA2S-splineX/YSpline).

You will now have improved corners because each row is calculated separately to try to maintain the paving slabs original size on the front edge

I hope that helps but please let me know if you have any further questions.

Many thanks,
