Carbide Create Wiki Pages

Finding some quiet time to work on these:

(and getting used to a new keyboard (ThinkPad 8845 w/ Trackpoint and trackpad) and old tablet stand… I’m blaming any typos on those — finally got tired of the crippled handwriting interface in Windows 8/10… maybe things will work better in Android)

Worked a bit more on this, and filled in a bit on “Node/Curve Edit Mode”:
