Ldcad Rubber bands cross over

[Victor Di Rienzo]

First, instead of turning the second control point 180° it is better to change properties of this control point from clockwise to counter clockwise. This avoids the squishing effect you have. Then to avoid the overlap at crossing, you need to add two bezier control points and place/orient them as needed. Here is an example:
