I have been trying to make a good B&M drop for sometime now. However, the main problem I run into is the "pre-drop" leadin. When I plug my numbers into the Elem, I get a larger leadin than I want. I usually start with a small radius, about 5 or 6ish, and increase the radius by about 15-20 with the HSAK. When I do that, I get a larger leadin that I want. I've tried to start with a higher or lower radius and adjust the increase radius accordingly but I still get the same result. I've put anywhere from 0 to 25 into the "anglea" but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any thoughts?

Here's some screens of what I get....

When I want something like these...

Will I need to use the HSAK multiple times to create a drop like those or can it been done with just one formula?

Use a negative hieght value with the BMdrop value and that should make the leadin start dropping right away instead of having a lazy Silver Bullet style turn.

You should be able to get something like this if you use a negative hieght value;
