Figure 6-1 shows a QuickShape rectangle blended to a
duplicate whose corners are so rounded that the shape looks
like a circle. You can see that the original blend makes an even
transition, and at bottom the blend has been modified for its
intermediate positions. You can also access an Attribute Profile
panel by clicking its button, to the right of the Position Profile
button on the Infobar. Use this panel exactly as you do the
Position panel; it “prefers” parent shapes and colors the way
the Position Profile panel is used to “prefer” distribution of the
blend shapes between its parent shapes.
