tangentialArc	Draw a curved line segment along part of an imaginary circle.	manual

Draw a curved line segment along part of an imaginary circle.

The arc is constructed such that the last line segment is placed tangent to the imaginary circle of the specified radius. The resulting arc is the segment of the imaginary circle from that tangent point for 'offset' degrees along the imaginary circle.

tangentialArc(data: TangentialArcData, sketch: Sketch, tag?: TagDeclarator) -> Sketch

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
data	TangentialArcData	Data to draw a tangential arc.	Yes
sketch	Sketch	A sketch is a collection of paths.	Yes
tag	TagDeclarator		No

Returns

Sketch - A sketch is a collection of paths.

Examples

const exampleSketch = startSketchOn('XZ')
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> angledLine({ angle: 60, length: 10 }, %)
  |> tangentialArc({ radius: 10, offset: -120 }, %)
  |> angledLine({ angle: -60, length: 10 }, %)
  |> close(%)

const example = extrude(10, exampleSketch)
