Hey everyone. I am making an application where a user can draw shapes with their mouse. All the other shapes are implemented, but I am having difficulty with drawing arcs correctly. I got the program to draw arcs, but I am having some bugs in the code. Basically it's supposed to draw the arcs exactly like a 3-point arc in AutoCAD. So I specify the start and middle points, and then use the mouse to position the end point. My problem is that (for some reason) I can't invert the arc when it passes one side of the line made between the start and middle points of the arc. I am horrible at this kind of math so I am wondering if there is anyone out there who can help me out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Here is my code:

private void PreviewShape(MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!line_drawn)
            {
                linept = new List<Point3D>();
                lineTwo = (Point3D)GetPoints(e);
                linept.Add(lineOne);
                linept.Add(lineTwo);
                LinesVisual3D line = new LinesVisual3D();
                line.Thickness = 2;
                line.Color = Colors.Blue;
                line.Points = linept;

                if (!skip_remove)
                    port.Children.RemoveAt(port.Children.Count - 1);
                port.Children.Add(line);
            }
            if (line_drawn)
            {
                Point3D currentPoint = (Point3D)GetPoints(e);
                Point3D center = GetCenterOfCircle(linept.ElementAt(0), linept.ElementAt(1), currentPoint);
                PieSliceVisual3D circle = new PieSliceVisual3D();
                double RadiusX = Math.Abs(lineOne.X - center.X);
